    See taht there are two similar functions for target profit. I know taht this sets a limit X points above the opening price.

    set target pprofit ( two p)  see attached

    and

    set target profit   (one p)

    What is the difference ? And in which circumstances should I use them ?

     

    Also, how can one vary the target once set ( to allow for funding etc.)? Is this possible?

    e.g. buy at 100 set target 5 – is limit is 105  say a day later I want to raise this to a target price of 10 to 110 ?

    another scenario say I buy at 100 with target 15 i.e. limit 115. I then buy again at 80 – how can i get a target of average price + target, (100+80)=90 +15 =105 set for all purchases ?

    SET TARGET PROFIT “value” and SET STOP LOSS “value”, both require a value expressed as price difference (say, close-open[1] or Sma20-high, etc…).

    PROFIT and LOSS can also be preceded by some characters:

    • p to express the required value in PIPS        (SET STOP pLOSS 30*PipSize)
    • $ to express the required value in your CURRENCY (whatever it is the symbol is still “$”)    (SET TARGET $PROFIT 500)
    • % to express the required value in a percentage  (SET STOP %LOSS 1.5)

    When you accumulate positions you cannot keep individual settings for STOP & TARGET, but there will be only ONE for all positions updated according to an average price named POSITIONPRICE.
