@chantal This was the initial setup in order to prevent flooding the exchanges with limit orders that are unlikely to trigger. Example: setting Amazon limits buy at $100 when the stock’s trading at $2,000.  
We have price caps (max distances) now so that’s no longer much of an issue. We’ll be correcting this logic very soon.
