manually entering an order

[frover]

Hello,
I would like to know how to manually enter a pending order with target and stop loss. Since each order in my case is different, it makes no sense to use ATM.

Hello and thank you for your post,

If you have an open position without any stop loss or profit target orders protecting it you can easily add these exit orders.

Please see a post in our support forum that outlines how to accomplish protecting an open position.

You would use ATM, then adjust the Stop and Target immediately after entry. Or, if you have enough time for a resting order, you can set the ATM parameters for that trade only: entry, target, stop. (i.e, you would create an ATM for the trade, but not save the ATM parameters). Rinse, repeat.
