Hi

Is there a way to set up a 2 target limit order to display the stoploss line and the 2 limit profit target lines AFTER the order has triggered, then once in the trade, you're able to move the stoploss and target lines freely to the desired prices.

I've attached Ninjatrader method - before the order triggered and after, which then displays the 3 lines...

I see you're also a fan of Thomas Wade's videos...


Those are called Attached Orders. See this:

Attached Orders


Having them visible after the triggered order can be toggled on or off using the Hide Pending Attached feature. See this:

Attached Orders: Hiding Attached Orders on Chart Until Parent Fill

I find it easiest to have a control bar button for this.

Thank you

This does not work with my order set up - when enabling the Hide Pending Attached Orders option the parent stop and target orders are deleted rather than hidden - because when the order is triggered it is immediately closed after one tick of price movement, also the parent stop and target orders do not reappear.

Why is this the case?:
the parent stop and target orders are deleted rather than hidden - because when the order is triggered it is immediately closed after one tick of price movement, also the parent stop and target orders do not reappear.

So the Attached Orders are getting canceled? Or is one of them getting filled immediately? What is the reason for the issue? You need to analyze the Trade Activity Log to see what the problem is:
Trade Activity Log: Viewing Historical Trade Activity

Are you using Interactive Brokers? That is going to certainly add issues.
