Multiple Orders and how to manage partial closing

  Hi everyone,

  I remembered that PRT would not allow partial closing of orders so I guessed that I simply had to place several different orders and manage them idependently.

  I tried this …

  IF C1 AND C2 AND C3 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET SET STOP LOSS 10 SET TARGET PROFIT 10 BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET SET STOP LOSS 10 SET TARGET PROFIT 50 ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  IF C1 AND C2 AND C3 THEN   BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET SET STOP LOSS 10 SET TARGET PROFIT 10    BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET SET STOP LOSS 10 SET TARGET PROFIT 50    ENDIF

  What happens is that TARGET PROFIT ends up by being set to 50 for both orders.

  Any suggestion ?

  Thks.

  The last read SET order in any code will overrule any previous ones and that will be the order that gets sent to market.

  Partial closing of positions should work now with IG in v11. Now that V11 demo accounts is available, you could give a try with a paper trading test to SELL/EXIT SHORT x CONTRACTS of a running order.
