    HcKing, I don't mean manually placing a stop. What I mean is something like having a $50 stop loss for both my long and short trade as default.
     
  5. If you have IB you can program hotkeys for your long/shorts with attached (trail)stops (and a target if you want to) to be used in the DOM/orderbook. One click will place the open order with attachments, hey presto.

    For more complicated scenario's you can use one of the front-ends (ButtonTrader, Bracket, Zeroline, Autotrader and Ninja)

    That's great info. All I need to do is to have my long and short entry attached with a stop loss something like 50 cents. And I trade stock. You think the hotkey will do the job? Thanks.
