Multiple Profit Targets - Managed Approach

[TradeSimple(Dre)]

Hello,

I am trying to enter a trade and set only one Stop Loss and have multiple Targets using a managed approach. I know this is possible to do with an unmanaged approach but my coding level isn't quite up there yet.
Was wondering if there are any examples where this is possible with managed.

I was able to come up with a work around where I enter separate orders with the same Stop and different Profit Targets. This works for now because the Stop orders get merged and can be moved around as one order when they are at the same price. But I'm sure this will cause issues when it comes to commissions due to them being separate entries.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Hello TradeSimple(Dre),


Thank you for your post.

While using the Managed Approach, you may only use one SetProfitTarget() per each Entry method. Your workaround where you create separate entries in order to utilize a different SetProfitTarget() for each entry signal is the way to get around this, although as you mentioned it is possible for this to affect your commissions. One of my colleagues describes using separate entry orders in his post here:

Ultimately, using the Unmanaged Approach would give you more flexibility and freedom, especially when it comes to using multiple Profit Targets without having to utilize an ATM strategy. If you would like additional information or resources regarding the Unmanaged Approach, please let me know.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to post them here.
