Trading on a Chart with Studies

You can enter an order based on study values, a Study Following Order, directly from the chart.

A Study Following Order is a DAY limit, stop, stop limit, DOM-triggered stop, DOM-triggered stop limit, or iceberg order that follows the corresponding study value. OCO and bracket orders are allowed. Trailing and parked orders are not valid.

You can place an order at the value or as an offset. The system automatically modifies the order price based on the study; it will continue to do so when partially filled.

If a study has a custom session, the study following order will be cancelled automatically when the session ends.

Placing these orders requires an enablement. The order book must be displayed to activate the place order menu option.
