Here's an example I open a trade with qty 2. StopAll is set. Target 1 and Target 2 is set. Before the stop or target is reached, I want to close half the position (qty 1) at mkt. At some point during the trade, I may want to add more positions to the trade at mkt. Is this possible or even recommended? Logically it's one trade but programmatically I was thinking of opening 2 different trades, but then I'll have to manually manage things like if only 1 of the 2 trades executed properly, etc... What do you guys recommend? |

Until,Americas current administration removes the Draconian rules forced on the USA traders. We are placed at a disadvantage when competing against off shore traders. You will need to get an off shore broker who will accept USA clients to be able to compete on an equal playing field. |

Yea its ridiculous. Problem is there arnt many (if any?) reputable overseas forex brokers that will accept US residents and support Sierra Charts. I'll be building a manager that individually manages trades. We gotta do what we gotta do.
