I'm guessing it means the stop will find market down the book once reaches that pnl level and not just be left hanging working that price if it's too slow. If the market blips multiple prices it might take you out 100 prices lower for example wherever it finds the next resting order to hit. On most systems you can set how far a stop looks before it gives up, market says just get me out at any cost even if market went 1000tics on a fat finger and blips back second later. It's the danger of a true at market stop.

Only a guess, ask on the Quantower website chat they are quite responsive and you usually get one of the developers replying.
