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

  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?

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