Set stop to break even after take profit 1 on manual position

pema83 · 2016-12-30T11:28:46+00:00

Hi! Is there a way to move the stop of a manually opened position to break even after partial closing the position? What I want to do is enter the market with multiple contracts after X points I want to close some contracts, but not all, move the stop of the remaining contracts to break even and happily wait till the remaining contracts reach take profit 2 or get stopped out. The manual of ProOrder states, that it is not possible to run any automated strategy and open positions manually. So there is no way to manage a manually opened position in an automated way? Thanks! Regards

So you don’t want to maually move stops for manually entered trades?

You say …

The manual of ProOrder states, that it is not possible to run any automated strategy and open positions manually.

but I do this all the time (in Demo) … see screen shot .. just set the ‘bottom left setting’ to Auto and away you go. See 2nd screen shot showing 2 manual Trades and 5 Bots.

Am I misunderstanding yuor qustion?

Thanks Grahal, but I think pema83 is refering to this:

But I’m sorry, there is no way to manage manual positions with automated trading.
