Hi,

Im aware that u guys have a move stop to breakeven button on the trade window. is there an option to shift my limit take profit to break even? let me give an example...i set a limit entry and my price gets filled. the price moves against me and i decide id rather scratch the trade at breakeven level coz my view on the trade has changed and i would like to get out at the same level i entered. i scalp trade, so the time factor is quite important that im able to do it fast. do u guys have such a function or could u provide me with instructions on how to create a button?

The closest available is to use the Flatten operation:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Flatten (Flatten and Cancel)

Yup im aware of this function, do u have one that goes directly to breakeven though? flatten only closes it at the current price. much thanks

so it would basically be a move stop loss to breakeven, except with the take profit level
