But this is what you showed yourself (this must have been from PRT-IB).

In the last attachment you see that the closest Long order was filled, so the position changed from -5 to -4.

This is my PRT-IB Demo account, but in live it works exactly the same.

You can do many more nice tricks like bouncing from a Buy Long to a Sell Short higher-up, meanwhile again setting a Sell Short below. Some times things swing nicely for 30 minutes or so and you always win. Until that last trade. 🙂

I see that I forgot to press OK in that 2nd screenshot in my previous post. I changed it after all (from 2 to 3 positions).

PS: The Long (4) is now filled as well. See 2nd attachment. There’s a catch here because originally it was Short 5, meanwhile changed to Short 4 making it necessary to change the Long 5 to Long 4 or else I would now have been Long 1.

Etc.

Here I am combinding things (looks like what GraHal did). But I am changing the top order from 2 to 1.
And as you see (3rd attachment) that all works (the bottom connected order is still at 2).

In the 4th attachment you see that all orders were automatically filled/eliminated. As it looks the pints can be on me now (paper pints but alas).

Maybe for others too : With PRT-IB it is not possible to have opposite orders at the same time. So all seems a bit upside down from PRT-IG.

Here you see what I meant with the “swinging”. Either the Long or the Short will be taken first. Probably the Short … So waiting for that. Yep. Done.
Now wait for it going down again – on its way to the Long.

Because the trend seems to be up, when it is half-way I will put a Short again, somewhat higher than the original Short. In the 3rd attachment I did that.

Have fun.

PS: The bottom order should be 10. So I changed that.

Thanks for the screenshots Peter!

Yes it works perfectly with IB, so I’ll suggest to PRT IG if they can add this. If not I guess I’ll change my broker from IG to IB

So did you already have an Account with IB or did you open an Account with IB in less than 2 hours?

Only asking out of interest in case I may need to go with IB also!! 🙂
