If I want to place an SSF order,blah..but not at market, where is the Stop Loss setting.Currently I have 2 different ones out there this morning.Must I first wait till I actually get the contract and then place the Stop Loss ? Or do I sit glued to the screen and wait till filled ?.. and then place the Stop Loss.Thank you for your consideration.

you have to be filled first. But if going for say 3 contracts when you have the first contract you can put the stop on that contract. IMPORTANT, you will have to add the stop for the balance as/when you get them.

Or you could just make the stop loss for 100% of your holdings...as more futures are added to the total they should all get taken into account when the stop is triggered?
