  forgive me if you see this post again–i had entered my question on another part of the platform before i saw this area to post in

  example:

  i have entered an active trade  .4 contracts and my initial target was 1111 to close .4 contracts

  but after i have entered my active trade i want to change my order to close .2 contracts at 1111 but in addition  now i want to  close remaining .2 contracts at 1112

  is it possible to add an additional target after have entered an trade

  thank you

  You can close ALL contracts with either at-market or pending orders, in this case you dont’ even need to sopecify the number of contracts:

  SELL AT MARKET //close ALL long contracts AT MARKET SELL AT ExitPrice STOP //close ALL long contracts using a STOP pending order SELL AT ExitPrice LIMIT //close ALL long contracts using a LIMIT pending order // EXITSHORT AT MARKET //close ALL short contracts AT MARKET EXITSHORT AT ExitPrice STOP //close ALL short contracts using a STOP pending order EXITSHORT AT ExitPrice LIMIT //close ALL short contracts using a LIMIT pending order

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  SELL AT MARKET               //close ALL long contracts AT MARKET SELL AT ExitPrice STOP       //close ALL long contracts using a STOP pending order SELL AT ExitPrice LIMIT      //close ALL long contracts using a LIMIT pending order // EXITSHORT AT MARKET          //close ALL short contracts AT MARKET EXITSHORT AT ExitPrice STOP  //close ALL short  contracts using a STOP pending order EXITSHORT AT ExitPrice LIMIT //close ALL short contracts using a LIMIT pending order

  If, instead, you want to partially close a position (just a few contracts, not all of them), then you need to use AT-MARKET orders . To exit some contracts at a desired ExitPrice you will have to check it’s been reached (using = or > or >=):

  IF close >= ExitPrice THEN SELL 2 CONTRACTS AT MARKET //close 2 long contracts ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF close >= ExitPrice THEN    SELL 2 CONTRACTS AT MARKET //close 2 long contracts ENDIF

  if the position is only 2 contracts, then all of them will be closed.
