I am telling it to buy at a specific price.
And if I use a "buy stop" I get a market order because price has
reached that price on the previous bar.
What happened to the "at upline" part of the order?

So I try a "buy limit" and I get buys before, at, and way after my
price, sometimes 10 bars late and no where near my price.
Does 2000i have issues with limit orders at a specified price?

thanks
nevi
