  Hello fellow traders, is there a way of using the auto quantity for stop orders aswell as limit orders?

  Hi… The Auto Qty is the money management tool in PRT… its activated in  Options/trading options and clicked on or off whether you want it or not.  My strategy is looking for breakouts bull bear flags etc…. so my long price is higher that my current price and if I am using Auto Qty for my money management, it wont let me do a buy stop order only a buy limit order..the help feature in PRT sends me here to ask the question…

  So am I correct in saying that you are manual trading?

  In case anybody else has any thoughts, this is what the PRT Manual says about what happens when you enable the Auto Qty.

  • One enables the others (OTO)

  An OTO is composed of a main order and one or two subordinate orders. When the main order is completely executed, the subordinated orders are placed. It is usually composed of a main order that opens a position, a target Limit order and a protection Stop.

  Example: We create a strategy composed of a primary order at a limit price of 16.85€, a target Limit order at 16.95€ and a protection Trailing Stop at 16.80€. If the main order is triggered, the two subordinate orders are set.

  Yes its manual trading, I dont know of any auto strategies that can detect a cup and handle breakout for example… so does anyone know how to place buy/sell stop orders and still use the OTO?? Auto quantity?

  Sorry. for the (very) late reply, but I was just searching for the same thing. Appearently it is not possible (yet), auto quantity orders can only be placed as Limit orders unfotunately.

  I would love to have this feature with BUY and SELL market orders, presetting a stop position and a percentage of the account. Risk management is key, and I think that it can make the difference between choosing another platform or PRT. The feature is already there with LIMIT orders, so I hope that it can be introduced soon for the rest of order types.
