Issue with StopLoss and ProfitTarget

[psangram]

Hello Support Team,


I think i am having a weird issue.

When i take multiple /NQ trades at different price points with a SL & PT set as ATM for each entry - SL/PT are always matching for all the entries, why is that?

ex: Trade1 = Long NQ at 20250 with a 10 PT/SL(declared in the ATM). so SL = 20240 and PT = 20260.
Trade2 = long NQ at 20255 with a 10 PT/SL. in this case also, SL for T2 is staying at 20240 and PT =20260.
What is expect is for T2, SL should be 20245 and PT should be 20265, which is not actually happening on my charts. Why is that?

Is there a setting that i can change to behave this differently and allow to set SL/PT based on the entry price of the individual trade?

Hello psangram

Thank you for reaching out.

The reason why when you are opening new positions, and the Stop loss stays the same as the previous, is because you still have the prior ATM "active".

If you do not want your next position to be added to your already existing ATM stop loss and Profit trigger, and instead want the new position to have its own SL and PT, you would need to re-select the ATM template you are using again.

Please see this video I made for your reference:

Basically, while the "Lightning bolt" is on, any buys or sells would be applied to the current position and ATM. You would want to select a "new" ATM (i) in order for it to be separate from the existing.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
