Take a position manually with automatically limit and stop orders

  Hi everyone! Hope summer is treating you well.

  Like the topic says. Is there a way to manually take a position with a built in limit and stop orders?
  Reason i wonder is that it’s way to complicated (atleast for me) to translate what i see as a perfect setup into code.
  I need my intuition to take my position but i would like to have a automatic system for limit and stop orders.

  Thank you in advance.

  Code cannot deal with manual trades and if you manually modify an automatic trade, the strategy is immediately interrupted.

  Thank you for your response Roberto, as always.

  Ok hmm.. but is there a way to use the multiple-leg orders “OCO” and combine it with manual trades? (see the attached file)
  I place an order manually with short command. And when i do the “OCO” immediately pops up with my pre defined setup?

  If I am readng you correct what you want … Open a position then hover over the position icon and right click and you will see options to open an SL and a TP, maybe even a TS depending on what type of acount you have.  These then end up linked to the open position and so they are OCO.

  I do above all the time, sounds crazy, but I almost couldn’t describe what to do! 🙂

  I’ve just shut my Platfrom, but if above sounds like what you are looking for then I will do a video next week as markets are closed now also.
