Lock stop loss in place upon entry, stop user from moving it to give more room

[gdogg9999]

hi,

i have a 5 point stop loss set on my atm, so when i enter a trade the first stop is immediately at 5 point below entry.

as you know, you are able to move the stop (using chart trader).

is there a way to lock this stop so that the user is not able to move it to 6 or 7 or 9 points?

if not, do i need a script? is one already available that someone knows of?

thanks a lot.

Hello gdogg9999,

Thanks for posting.

It is not possible to disable the ability to move orders in Chart Trader, but since it takes two clicks to move an order, you can press the Esc key to cancel moving the order in the event that you accidentally click on it.

Below is a link with more information:

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

This is a great idea to add an option in the ATM to lock the ability to move a stop. Would help with disaplin :-)
Is this on any list to impalment in the futur?
