Fixed Buy/Sell stop/limit
25 Mar 2024, 15:57


Hello Ctrader,

Is there a way to deactivate the function where I set a buy or Sell limit when the price hits it so that it doesn't move my Stop Loss?

This is very crucial because every time it moves my stop loss with my entry (accounting spread) I will have to move my SL to where it was originally meaning I'm increasing my risk because I'm making the SL larger.

Mt4 didn't have this option either.

It's great that the fixed buy/sell limit calculates the lot size based on how much I'm risking but I need the Stop loss to stay where it originally was when I set the limit even after it is triggered and not move up as the entry-level moves because of spread/slippage: 

I hope that was understandable. Please provide me with a way to deactivate this option, please.

Thank you,

Joel Sousa Koffi

Hi Joel,

No it is not possible. But you could develop a cBot that would do this for you.

Best regards,
