There is not user interface support for this.
Thank you. Just curious, is there any plan for allowing this in the future? I figure the Targets tab would "just" need a 4th type, which would be an absolute price. Not as tidy as TWS's 3-line order entry at one glance, but quite functional and within the current UI.For anyone reading this in the future: I'll work around this small limitation by changing the points of both targets manually in the Targets tab before sending each trade. It involves calculating the differences from the entry limit price manually, but cleanly avoids sending order modification requests, which keeps the broker happy. I take my time to plan out each trade anyway, so another 30 seconds isn't a problem. You could custom program something like this using ACSIL,
Good to know, but my C++'s rudimentary and I wouldn't trust it with real money. ;-) Looks like ACSIL would allow me to build some preview of the 3 horizontal lines ahead of time, but that's beyond me. Calculating offsets will have to do for now.
