Is there a way to change an active stop order to a trailing stop on the chart? Like when you click on contracts in the stop you can change the quantity. It would be handy to be able to do this with order type also. Currently the best way is to cancel the current stop, right click on chart and select trailing stop? Or place a single order and when filled, right click to add a trailing stop? Thanks |

So just right clicking and selecting trailing stop will not work? If I just bought 5 contracts and then right click and select trailing stop, if price moves down to that trailing stop it will not sell my 5 contracts? I’m not at my platform to test that link but what I listed above seems easier to me if it works. Thanks Awesome platform by the way! |

That will create a new order.. If that is what you want to do that is fine.

As long as I delete the active stop order and then right click and create a trailing stop order it should work correct?

Yes this sounds fine.

Would like to second this thread. Having an option to right click an active stop order to swap to a trailing would be very handy
