I Want to Execute Complex Orders

Is this you?

• You want to use limit orders, stop orders, trailing stops, or combo orders (e.g. market + stop-loss + take-profit)
• You're not sure which alert format or fields to use
• You want to understand how price rounding works

Quick Answer

✅ XeroLite supports:

• Market orders — Fill at best available price.
• Limit orders — Fill at a specific price or better.
• Stop orders — Trigger when price reaches a level (e.g. stop-loss).
• Trailing stop — Stop that trails price (v1.2+).
• Combo orders — Main order + stop-loss and/or take-profit in one alert.

Use the alert request format (v1.1 or v1.2) and set order_type and the right fields (e.g. price, sl_offset, tp_offset, trail_amt).

Setup (high level)

1. Choose order type — e.g. MARKET, LIMIT, STOP, TRAIL.
2. Set fields in your alert JSON — e.g. price for limit, sl_offset / tp_offset for stop-loss/take-profit, trail_amt for trailing stop.
3. Use Alert Request Builder — Build a valid message and copy it into TradingView.
4. Test with paper trading — Verify order execution and rounding before going live.

Order Types and Examples

Type	Use case	Key fields
Market	Execute immediately at best price	order_type: "MARKET"
Limit	Buy/sell at specific price or better	order_type: "LIMIT", price
Stop	Stop-loss or breakout	order_type: "STOP", price (stop price)
Trailing stop	Lock in profit as price moves	order_type: "TRAIL", trail_amt (v1.2+)
Combo	Main order + SL/TP	Main order + sl_offset / tp_offset (or separate legs)

Price rounding is applied automatically to match IB rules.
