I can't figure out how to get this OCO set up correctly, can you please help me?

2 contract position:

Stop for both contracts at 20 pips from entry, two targets one at 20 pips the second at 40 pips.

When first target is reached, stop moves to break even for the one remaining contract and also converts to a trailing stop, the second target is still there, whichever is hit first cancels the other order.

We have attached a Trade Window Configuration that should do what you want, although it is setup in Ticks, so you will have to adjust to pips. Be sure you test it out to ensure that it does what you want.

Note that there is no "Move to BreakEven" as it is a Triggered Trailing Stop, so once the first target it hit, the stop will start trailing at the trailing offset specified. Therefore it does not make sense to have a Move to BreakEven.

Refer to the following for how to use a Trade Window Configuration supplied to you:

can anyone suggest me setting up an order? I am working with an autotrading system, what I would like is the activation of an order give me a buy limit order at the time of the signal and 3 pending sell-stop limit or buy-stop limit orders in the direction of the signal. In other words, I need a bracket order that contains an order that is confirmed at the signal and automatically another 3 orders pending at x tiks from each other

TY
