Strategy implementation after initial entry

[Antonios]

is it possible to implement a strategy on an existing position? For example I enter using the superdom and then 1 hour later decide to put on a stop/profit target.

Anthonios,

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

I figured out that much. But when entering OCO orders like that is it possible to set up the stop as a trailing stop?

Hello Antonios:

You cannot add auto-trail to your stop order when you enter orders into an existing position.
