Post From: Cancelling entry limit order if target was reached first

Scalping the ES, a day with high volatility. Sent an entry limit order (with SL and target attached). In a second, prices reached the scalping target (before filling my entry order). The next second, prices reversed and filled my entry order and then hit my SL.

I always cancel an entry limit order if prices reached the target before filling it. This time, however, all occurred in a couple of seconds, faster than the time it takes to click on the X to cancel it.

Is there any way to automatically cancel an entry limit order if prices reached the target order first? Or cancel the entry limit order if prices moved away a certain amount of ticks? Your help is much appreciated.
