Manual Stop Loss Submission

[ozfader]

'scuse my ignorance, but I've looked for stop loss info using the search function but it returns no results. What am I doing wrong?

Anyway, my question is simple - how can I place stop loss and profit target orders AFTER my initial order entry? Yes I know I can submit auto SL and PT as part of a stop strategy (I always do) however, by mistake I cancelled my stop loss and can't seem to find a way to re-enter it.

Help! Please...................

Hi Ozfader,

I know I already replied to your regular email, but I'm replying here as well for everyone who wants to know how to add a Stop or Target to an open position.

If you have an open position without a strategy, you need to add a limit and stop order to protectthe position.

- Set strategy to <none>
- right click in the DOM and enable OCO order
- Then place a limit order where you want to exit at a profit
- Then place a stop order where you want to exit at a loss
- Then right click again and disable OCO order
