Hi
Is it possible to set a profit target with the SuperDom after a trade has already been initiated.
Say I have two contracts & I phase out of the first contract at +5, leaving the last contract as a discretionary exit - is it then possible to add a profit target to this final contract at say +40?

I am struggling to see how I can do this after the trade has kicked off.

thx in advance
David

Thank you for your post.

If you have an open position without a strategy, and you need to add a limit and stop order to protect the position. Please follow these instructions:

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

Does this still work if I have a stop loss order already in place?
I just want to add a limit order for the profit.

many thx

Yes, just left click on the desired price point in the Sell column above the current trading price to place a limit order if you are long, and left click on the desired price point in the Buy column below the current trading price if you are going short.
