Strategy vs Manual Sell

[pdt1225]

if you create a strategy from the strategy tab and let’s say you have 2 quantity with a stop loss and you’re in a trade… how can you sell let’s say 1 contract manually and move the stop loss to 0?

Hello pdt1225,

You can always place manual orders to an account, but this will not affect the strategy position which is separate from the account position.

You can modify an order placed by a strategy, but if the strategy updates that order after you modify it, the order will be changed to whatever the strategy has changed it to.
Set methods are updated on every tick, so if you modify a set order, it will move right back to where the strategy is setting it.

If you want a strategy order you can modify manually, use a order method with the isLiveUntilCancelled bool as true, and then ensure the logic in the strategy does not update the order.
