The point is, it is complicated. That is how the documentation reads. I don't see a more elegant way to do it. I am happy to be educated otherwise. Let me set the scenario. I always use attached orders. Generous fixed stop and targets. Once I put on a position, I routinely relocate the targets and stops to align with the market. My default "Use Attached Orders" is set to "stop: stop". I do not use trailing-stops as "attached orders" because trailing-stops are harder to adjust and problematic for a multi-hour long trade in a noisy market. If I am in a very long trade and have to step away, I want to convert my stops to trailing stops. That is the whole point - I want to be able to quickly convert my stops to trailing. Something like right click on a existing stop and selecting "trailing". I have tried to do that, falsely assuming an existing stop could be deleted and a right-click trailing stop created. Well, I don't have to tell you that doesn't work out as one might expect. It's a disaster. If I read your documentation correctly, I have to follow the steps above to purge all stops and targets and recreate them. I would love for it to be less complicated. Again, if there a short cut or fewer steps, let me know. |
