Hello,
Is there something special I need to do when I make a StopMarketOrder for a short position?
With my long positions, my stop order works as expected:
- buy at $100
- set stop at $90
- position closes when $90 is hit
With my short positions, there seems to be a bug:
- buy at $100
- set stop at $110
- position immediately closes at $100
Why is this happening?
Peter Schiller
Sorry, upon further examination I believe the bug might be elsewhere in my code.

also helps to include some code next time :)
