BuyExit / SellExit Question

Here is the scenario:

1. I enter a market order (buy /sell)

2. I don't want to - no time - to set a stop or stop limit order (and no offset either)

Question:

1. Is there an order type where I can exit a position based on offset in ticks I relation to my market order position?

2. If I use automated trading - THIS IS CRITICAL - can I run a program to EXIT only. I MANUALLY ENTER orders but use program to exit ( BuyExit / SellExit). In other words if MANUALLY ENTERED will the PositionData.PositionQuantity show the correct order quantitiy to exit aitomatically?

Thanks

1. Yes just use Attached Orders. Refer to:
Attached Orders: Step-By-Step Instructions

These can also be sent even after the original parent order is sent:
Order Types: Send Attached Orders - Position/Price

2. Yes this is fully supported. Just use the Buy Exit and Sell Exit order actions with the automated trading system:
Automated Trading Management: Buy Exit
