Setup fine. NO Problem. Just started the Trial.

Having problem with OCO order. Spent hours...no resolution.

The only order I need:

Forex: Initial 30 pip stop...with 30 pip initial target, then stop raised to breakeven on remainder with second target 60 pips and third target 90 pips.

There is something I am not doing correctly, tried stop:stop and also Group1, Group2, Group3.

Can you help me? Can't find a solution with youtube videos and the forum posts.

Thanks, If I can get this working, I will use it with IB.

The attached twconfig file should do what you're looking for:

Initial stop: 30 pips
Target 1: 30 pips
Target 2: 60 pips
Target 3: 90 pips
When Target 1 is reached/filled the stop is moved to entry.

Copy the attached twconfig file in SC's data folder and choose it in the Trading DOM.

With this twconfig file be aware of:
- using 2 decimals in Price Display Format and Tick Size for JPY pairs
- using 4 decimals in Price Display Format and Tick Size for none JPY pairs
In case you're using 3 respectively 5 decimals, you have to double the stop (60) and targets (60, 120, 180) as these are ticks.

The choosen position size is 300000 with each target scaling out 1/3 (100000). You might want to adjust that to your personal needs.
