Setting different targets on entries?

[timmbbo]

Say I enter the market long with two shares. I want to set the stop on both of them two points away. I want to set the target for the first share at one point, and the target for the second share at two points. How to do?

Thanks

Hello timmbbo,

Submit these as two orders using unique signal names.

Set the stop losses using the from entry signals of these two orders to the same price.

Set the profit targets to different prices using the respective from entry signals.

Thanks, if I understand, the code would be something like:

EnterLong(1, "Order 1");
EnterLong(1, "Order 2");
SetStopLoss( 2 share prices );
SetProfitTarget(1 share price, "Order 1");
SetProfitTarget(2 share prices, "Order 2");

Would this be correct?

Hello timmbbo,

Not quite. You must supply a calculation mode and value to SetProfitTarget() if you are wanting to use a fromEntrySignal.

SetProfitTarget(string fromEntrySignal, CalculationMode mode, double value)

Below is a link to the help guide on SetProfitTarget().

For example:
SetProfitTarget("Order 1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 20);
