If you want to open a position, there appears to be (at least) two entry commands possible at the end of the line, see example below:
if Condition A then
Buy 1 share “at market” (most commonly used, which execute the buy order always, usually at the price of opening of the first following bar, after spread)
Buy 1 share at Low “stop”
My question is what exactly the latest command does ?
Thanks in advance for the information !

I found the answer of Nicolas, question is answered !
But what happens if the Stop order is not hit, will it “stay forever ” or will it be cancelled by the end of the day ? Or what is the code to remove the stop order ?
Answer Nicolas, topic : what is the difference between limit and stop orders
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
