  Hi, is this possible to code for a strategy? If so, would anyone be so kind and help out coding it ? 🙂

   

  1) At exactly 8am UK Time take the price of GBP USD
  2) Place a Buy stop at price +40 pips, stop loss 80 pips, take profit 240 pips, trailing stop 60
  pips
  3) Place a sell stop at price -40 pips, stop loss 80 pips, take profit 240 pips, trailing stop 60
  pips
  4) If trade entry level is hit, delete second trade order
  5) Close all trades at 6pm UK time

  Give your topic a meaningful title. Describe your question or your subject in your title. Do not use meaningless titles such as ‘Coding Help Needed’. Thank you 🙂

  I changed it.

  There you go:
