    What’s the different behavior of ProOrder for each of these two commands:

    1. Buy 1 CONCTRACT AT x STOP
    2. Buy 1 CONCTRACT AT y LIMIT

    Thank you.

    With Limit you may have a better fill but its not guaranteed.

    They are pending orders (conditional ones).

    You need to place STOP orders when you want to :

    ■ Buy higher than the current price

    ■ Sell lower than the current price

    and LIMIT orders when:

    ■ Buy lower than the current price

    ■ Sell higher than the current price
