**Newbie Question** I have purchase Diageo shares at 2620, and would like to set a Sell Stop at 2575 to protect the risk. I keep getting the message “entered price value is too far from the current market value”. Am I misunderstanding the Sell Stop? If not, is there a max % below the current price? ---

You are not misunderstanding. Seems broken. I replicated it on the demo. @David Could you take a look at this for him please. ---

Corrected. Soon, we’ll drop all restrictions on pending order distances, be that too close or too far. 🙂 ---
