Maybe I made the question too complicated hence there is no response 
at all. Allow me to rephrase it.

Question: Does any one successfully implement the Good Till Cancelled 
STOP order? Similarily, the GTC Limit order, if yes, would you be so 
kind to share? Thanks.

NOTE: this kind of orders can not have a fixed trade delay from oder 
issuance to execution.
