Post From: The new feature of lock/flatten in Global Profit/Loss Management

Hi SC

Glad to see this newly released feature. Please could you help with some explanation of the fields.

My aims are to:

1. Flatten and lock trading after a certain daily loss level (say $200). I'm guessing that I put -200 into Profit Trigger Value, select the Flatten All Positions When Profit Rules Met checkbox and also the Lock After Profit/Loss Met check box.

Is this correct?

2. With this set, how can I utilise the trail daily net profit effectiuvely? I'm confused by initially having a negative trigger. If my aim is to:
- stop trading at a $200 daily loss
- once profitable, never dip back into loss (so let's say a $50 threshold to cover commissions). Would this be 'After Trigger When Daily Net Profit Increases By' = 250 ?
- have a trail of (say) $200. Would that be Increase 'Profit Value After Trigger to Flatten Positions By' = $200?

3. I'm also a little confused by the interaction of Profit Trigger Value and Profit Value After Trigger To Flatten Positions.

A little more explanation would be much appreciated. This feature looks really useful.

Lee.
