Additional Suggestion
I have a suggestion that I've already added into the voting system.
I'll just copy paste my idea here.
My idea was more to have the option to be able to run a script at Order execution time.
That would allow greater customization and flexibilty. For example I want to place a stop at 2*ATR(14) away from exection price that risks 1% of my capital and places a TP at 2:1 Risk reward ratio. Others may have different criteria for their stops.
Admittedly this may add a fraction of a second onto execution time for a script to run so is probably more useful for swing traders than scalpers. But would bean amazing feature to have.
Vote up the idea here

I have to admit the main reason to still keep MT4 is lotsizes. Many users have traded MT4 for a long time and are used to lotsizes 0.01 , 0.1 , 1. Rather than 10000k lots in cTrader.
To have the option to change this would reduce the learning curve considerably and bring more users to the platform.

RE:
Perhaps this a feature for the suggestions box. I tend to place SL and TP on support / resistance levels so slippage doesnt really affect my trades in that regard. I want the SL/TP at that point regardless of the lvl that the order gets filled.
Thats a brilliant idea with the cBot idea though and i'll look into doing that as a work around for the time being.
Thankyou
