Hi is it possible to do semi automatic trading with PRT? i.e. manually enter a position to exit at a moving average cross over, then automatically close the auto trading down at he ma cross over?

Hi cosmic, no it is not possible to a have a mix of trading conditions between automated trading orders and manual orders. Sorry 🙂

Hi Cosmic

You could do similar by using the ‘Alert combined with Order Condition’ as your exit criteria … but remember not to close the Platform before exit conditions have been met.

Also if you internet connection goes down then the ‘Alert combined with Order Condition’ is also lost!

Hi!

I think it would work if you just code that it buys position when you start it and then program exit conditions and includes “exit” (for stopping the automated trade) in the exit counditions.

As mentioned above you can setup a conditional alert based on MA crossover (and or others). If you’re not in front of your screen at the time you can setup an SMS or email notice and close position on mobile app.

Yes, it is possible. I’ve done it myself. I had a long position opened via IG platform. I made a code in PRT with Buy and Sell conditions making sure the Buy condition wouldn’t be triggered. And voila!

If you are long on IG and you shortsell on PRT, they system has to either force open the short position or close the long position. I did try this scenario a few days ago and my long position was closed.

I “think” I did the above to close a long position which I had opened manually. I tried this again recently but it didn’t work this time and I don’t know why. I called IG and asked. They said you can’t close a manually opened position with PRT code. So I may have been wrong. I’m still new to this and learning.
