How do I place a stop order in the DOM?
The DOM for Tradovate is right-click/left-click sensitive. This means that using a left or right click will process a different type of order.
When placing a limit order, left-click below the market in the Bid column to go long and left-click above the market in the Ask column to go short. To place a stop limit order for a long position, right-click in the Ask column below the market. To place a stop limit order for a short position right-click the Bid column above the market.
If you would like to change this, you can do so by clicking on 'View Settings' and then selecting 'Settings'
Then, select 'Limit Order - Left Click | Stop Order - Left Click'. Tradovate's DOM will automatically put you in the order type that you would like based on the location of the order in the DOM. For instance, if you left-click for a buy order above the market, it will automatically make that a buy order.
Can I configure the type of stop order used in the DOM?

Click “Stop Type…” and it will open a Configure Stop Type modal. You can then select the type of stop from the dropdown and then anytime you right-click the DOM to place a stop order, it will place the type of stop order selected.
