    Hi all,

    I´m programing a new strategy called Grid.

    The idea is too simple. Consist on buy for example 4 contracts and sell them as the price rises four times. For that I need to buy these contract one by one. In case price go down, I buy another 4 contract one by one as the price goes down.

    There is any way to do it? The problem that I have it’s I don’t know how to put the TP per contract. If I have 4 contract, how can I specify the TP one by one?

    Thanks

    With PRT it is possible to partially close positions in demo by selling x contracts at a limit price but it is not possible to do the same in live trading at the moment unfortunately.

    To buy and sell at selected prices you can use:

    buy 1 contract at x limit

    and

    sell 1 contract at y limit

    where x is any price lower than the current price and y is any price higher than the current price.

    ooh 🙁 and do you know any idea to create something similar?

    I´m thinking in create 8 robots to emulate this, but this is very “ugly”.

    thanks

    Yes independent strategies controlling their own individual positions is one workaround but as you say it is very ugly. Personally I am just patiently waiting for IG to allow PRT to partially close positions.

    Hi again,

    Partially close will be available on PRT 11? I just ear that in Jan 2020 PRT 11 will be available with IG.

    Regards
