Market or Limit Order Handling

Hi, is it possible to place limit orders, as orders executed not below a minimum level, or orders are by defaults "market" meaning that they are always executed at the best available price. Thanks Ababacar

Yes, it's possible to set Limit orders. From Photon, simply set the order type in the drop down on the order ticket. From a strategy, set OrderType to Limit and use the appropriate TIF.

Thanks Colin, i am sorry but in Photon (revision 1.5.0) I cannot see any field to set order type to Limit. I see "side" (for buy/sell) and TIFF for day/GTC/FOK.... The only way I see is to set a custom field with the relevant FIX tag related to a limit or stop order.
Kind regards,
Ababacar
