carvas
even though you cannot set a GTC order with cybertrader , I routinely use
limit and stop orders placed from the conditional order screen. No problem.
For using the last price as a "trigger" it seems very difficult with all the
late reporting and bad ticks that come through as last price. The bid works
better for me.
