Can you tell me if this type of trade management can be automated within Sierra? I'm entering with 2 contracts. First target is 10 ticks. Second target is 20 ticks. Stop 1 and 2 are set at -10 ticks. After target 1 has been hit is it possible to trail stop 2 1:1 to target 2 without exceeding my initial max risk of -10 ticks? Example - I enter at 50(price). Target 1 is at 60(price). Target 2 is at 70(price). Stop 1 and 2 are at 40(price). Target 1 gets hit at 60(price). Price then moves to 65. In this scenario my stop 2 would then move to 60(price). My stop 2 is now 1:1 (5 ticks) in relation to my target 2. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-02-15 22:02:16

Yes.

I don't think this can achieve what I'm asking. I do not want to input a specific Trigger Offset. Let's say my 1st target has been hit. I want my Stop 2 to trail an equal distance to my 2nd Target based on current price. If I adjust my 2nd Target then my Stop 2 will also adjust (but never more than my max -10 of risk). Please look at the attached picture for reference. You can see after my 1st Target is hit my Stop 2 has moved down an equal distance(dashed red line) to my 2nd Target(dashed yellow line) based on price. |
