Hi All
I have been looking for a keyboard shortcut to move the stop to X ticks behind price - I know there is a breakeven function and a move stop to stops to price function that requires you to select a price level on the chart itself... but I am looking for something quicker and related to the current price.
I presume this would require an ASCIL script to achieve and wondered if anyone has this - happy to pay a fee?
Much appreciated

Hi Dean,

Have you tried the "Trailing Stop" option? I think that's what you need.

You can also setup a Custom Keyboard Shortcut to "launch" that order.

Good luck.

Also refer to the information for the Trade Management by Study study. You can set a horizontal line that is 20 ticks below current price and then activate the study to move the stop to that level. Refer to the information here:
