	You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid. So your sell order's TP/SL, and pending buy orders will be triggered when the Ask reaches it. To trigger at a specific Bid price, add the average spread.

Well correct me if I'm wrong :

for a long : in @ ask / out @ bid

For a short : in @ bid / out @ ask

Is it alright whatever is the spread ?
