Dear Support: I trade with hotkeys. I have four hotkeys assigned: 9 key: Buy Market 0 key: Sell Market 7 key: Sell (Short) Market 8 key: Buy (To Cover) Market I want to assign a stop or triggered stop (not sure on terminology) to the 9 and 7 keys, so that if I open the order and the price immediately moves against me (by 2 ticks) a stop will be triggered and I will automatically exit the position at market. Since I want to manually take profit (with 0 and 8 keys), I do not want the stop (2 ticks) applied to the 0 and 8 keys. (I would like the 0 and 8 keys to be simple: Sell and Buy at market only.) How can I do this? And is this technically called a Stop or Triggered Stop? Do I need both Stop and Triggered Stop set to an offset of 2 ticks on the "Targets" tab of the "Chart Trade Window"? Thank you in advance! |

This is not supported. But all you need to do is just make sure to disable the Use Attached Orders option on the Trade Window which you can set up a shortcut key for, when you do not want to have the attached Stop. For the attached Stop order what you want to use is Attached Orders: Attached Orders You can use whatever Stop order type that you want.
