  Hi,

  When I try to hedge a position pro real time automatically closes my original position. Why is this and how do I stop it from happening??

  Many thanks

  Paul

  Change the setting at the red arrowhead on attached.

  Read the ? to see what each setting means and try it out on Demo first so you get used to it!

  Hi There: Can you explain to me how to change the settings so that I can hedge?… I don’t see the option on V12 every time I try to hedge , the platform closes my original trade…

  I would much appreciate your help…

  Did you follow my instructions 3 posts up?

  May be slightly different on v12 (I’ve not got v12)?

  To find the setting … enter ‘Force Open‘ in the search bar when on the Settings screen.

  Yes…thanks for responding. I do see your post 3 up…but on V12 there seems to be no way to enable or disable the market order….

  When I type in “Force Open” in the settings search window, nothing comes up…..

  batesmotel, you are most very 100% probably working in PRT-IB (and V12). The feature does not exist there.
  With PRT-IB no hedging possible at all. 🙁
  Formally not even more than one System on an Instrument possible … (AutoTrading).
