Hi

Please tell me how to set up the following...


Hard Stop -20 ticks
Trigger for trail -12 ticks
Close trade at -4 ticks

To explain further, if price exceed 12 ticks set to close the trade at break-even or 4 ticks loss upon pullback. IF not then hard stop will be triggered.
otherwise if the trade is positive not trailing required then.

I have read and tried everything I can think of.

Best regards

Hey John

I want my targets to move to Break-even if the trade is offset ( down ) by a certain ticks.

I dont see the option to move target to B.E. Only Stops.

I want to limit my loss not to cover my profits.

I want to set up my trade window so my target move to B.E if the trade goes against a certain number of ticks ??

To explain further, 

If i buy at 10 and the price goes to 7 then all targets move to breakeven, otherwise a hard stop at 5 will be hit.

Thank you

Sorry, we did not recognize that you had specified Targets.

We do not have a way to move Targets to breakeven like there is for Stops.
