Yes. The holy grail is the trader not the system.

Actually you wouldn't need a separate OCO order. If all the positions were combined into one position, then FIFO would work fine with a stop tied to that one position because the entire order would be taken out when the stop or take profit hit. This ...

Hi Jason. I am a current FXCM client. I would prefer to see my positions combined into one big position so that stops and limits can still be had on the one order. That way OCO's are no longer needed. It is the idea of keeping the orders separate ...

Thanks Kiwi. That gives me some ideas. It may even solve my issue in an indirect way but I need to look closer to see if it really does. You've spent some time on that spreadsheet. Thanks again.
