Hi all,

As you probably know by my posts I'm a fan of grids and hedging, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a utility that would automatically place a stop/limit order at a set amount of pips upon me placing a market order.

Thanks.

I'm sure there is something free online that would do this. It would take me too long to find compared to just coding something.

It sounds as if you will need an EA coded to do this.


Some questions:

1) Do you want a stop AND limit order to be placed? Or did you want either a stop OR limit order placed?

2) This will happen for any market order in the entire account? Or only for certain ones? If only certain ones, how should the EA know which ones?

3) This process will only happen once per market order?

Hi admin, thanks for the quick response. 

My latest system requires an opposite pending limit order each time I place a market order. It's just once upon entry.

If nobody uploads an EA for this soon, I will code one. I will test it live. So sometime after the new trading week starts.

Here is the Pending Orders EA. I tested it live and it seemed to work well.

Note: A single Pending Orders EA needs running per account. It will consider all chart symbols in the entire account. You do not need to have a separate EA running for each chart symbol.

why do you have to put up a pending order while not knowing where the price will move, is there a good reason for this strategy

I think he wants to put a trap so that wherever the price moves will be trapped by pending orders

really also what you say by installing a food trap will definitely be hit, tappi must also be considered the distance and this needs to be tested

testing is very important or can also be tested with Fibonacci levels

usually those who often use Fibonacci levels also use resistance support levels
