Post From: Trader DOM: Adding more lots to a position with cumulative stop position?

Almost done setting up SC as close as can be to what I'm used to.... here's another question please: In my previous platform, I had an "ATM Stop" option where I could set it to x ticks. Let's say we set a 20 tick stop (5 ES pts) If I bought 1 contract long at 4000.00, it would automatically place a stop at 3995.00 If I added another 4 contracts at say 3996.00, my Stop would STAY at 3995 but instead of showing QTY 1, it would automatically show 5 lots there. Now if price doesn't stop me out, and instead shoots way up to say 4003 and I sell 1 contract there, the stop would still be at 3995.00 but it would now show 4 lots. I could add/decrease up and down the ladder and that Stop won't move from 3995.00 unless I manually move it, and it would take all the remaining lots with it if I did move it to breakeven or higher etc. On SC, every time I add a new lot with "attach order" on with a 20 tick stop, it's placing a new stop based on that entry price. Is there a way to make it like my above example instead? So that every time I add a contract, it doesn't add a new stop x ticks from entry, but just adds it cumulatively to the original stop? This is just simpler for me to manage my trades, and it does not clutter up my ladder. I made a quick video showing what I mean from my old platform and on SC -- this is somewhat of a dealbreaker as I cannot be dragging my stops all over the DOM to ensure they all sit at the same price level. I'm scaling in and out many many times inside a single candle. Thanks! |
