Automatic stop-loss and profit target in sterling pro

Discussion in 'Automated Trading' started by black_trader, Dec 28, 2017.

  1. Is it possible to have sterling pro automatically place a stop and profit target immediately an order is placed. If not, how can this be achieved without any extensive programming?

    I'm familiar with Ninjatrader and i can simply do this with the in-built ATM strategy .

    You can place two orders, then tag them as OCO. When one executes, the other will cancel.

  4. Thanks... I guess there is no way to do that automatically? I just need a system to place a stop and profit target immediately i get into a trade.

    We can do that with ReaLTick. What broker do you use?

    Then you will need to enter three orders or move you business.

    You can use Sterling Trader API for auto order placement. I can code that for you if inrerested
     
  9. Does Sterling Trader Pro still not have the built-in capability to do this auto order placement in the Original post?
