Is is possible to open a "buy stop-limit" order (or "sell stop-limit" order) by the class CTrade?

[Jo Jomax]

We can use CTrade or MqlTradeRequest to open orders. But I can not find the option "buy stop-limit" (and sell stop-limit) in the drop-down combo box of the class CTrade in MetaEditor. So must I learn  MqlTradeRequest to order these orders? And can we work with both CTrade and MqlTradeRequest in one expert?

Exactly. There is only three options. It should be 5.

did you search codebase. i am sure there will be a library that someone has made already.

not a library, but a script that you can learn from
