Pending orders (BUYSTOP and SELLSTOP) with slippage
Slippage value used for buy or sell orders only. See https://docs.mql4.com/trading/ordersend
Hi Slawa,
Yes I know that slippage is only for market (sell, buy) orders. But I want (and I think that others too) use slippage for pending orders.
In others trading platforms is normal set slippage for STOP order (so-called STOPLIMIT). It is big limitation of MT.
I think that solution is simply:
1) when I send BUYSTOP or OP_SELLSTOP with 0 slippage parametr, order will be executed on next available price
2) If I send BUYSTOP or OP_SELLSTOP with some slippage parametr and price jump over this range, order will not be executed.
Could you add this features into next release?
Thank you
Kurt

Could you tell why isn't possible set slippage for BUYSTOP or SELLSTOP?
If I set slippage for this kind of order and market will be jump over this order I'm will be executed on next avalible price and slippage have no sence. I need this for straddle strategy. I think that in MT is missing STOPLIMIT orders.
Thank you for your answer
