    LOL WHY don't you guys trade with so much preset? Just add the stops and the tp orders later. You don't know how the market is going to do, so why set the stops and the tp targets right away and for all the market players to see? LOL

    You don't seem to understand. You add stops and target to your order because you don't know how the market will behave. And it's not the values within the preset (eg. 4 tick stop, etc) but being able to execute your order with the stops simultaneously. Once that's done, then all you need to do is DRAG the stops to wherever you want. Now compare that to filling in your stop and target and manually sending them orders seoarately.

    That said, if you ain't an active trader, all this shouldn't matter. I'm just thirowing this out there for those who are and maybe thinking about using TV as their main tool for order execution.

    Ok that makes more sense if you are a daytrader or a scalper. I am neither so yes I do put in orders differently.

    Half the time my TV charts just freeze. They are actually a step down from the old TWS charts.
