Are you allow to set multiple TPs and have them seperatly removed or is it like other brokers where if I had 3 orders in for 1 pair its only 1 TP..

I either modify order to manual close partial trade or I use EA to do auto partial close. eg 20pips close 25% position, 50pips close 50% position etc...

Thank you.
I was messing with a grid and after my Sell Stop order is completely removed and triggers the next order a Sell Limit would be place in the previous Sell Stops Price that way if it goes back I would still lock in profit but the FIFO would be a headache but still lock it in..as the next order is triggered the Limit would be next in line. That way I can always BE or remove Risk.. Pending if it goes back and hits it.

I hate US trading rules, FIFO,,, plus you can't even put stop loss and TP on same size trades done by EAs...I have a few old oanda accounts left, not intend to open more US accounts.
I focus on nonUS accounts, that is where my big accounts are

Makes complete sense. Before FIFO we use to be able to have week old order and just hedge them out I miss that so much.
What do they require I couldnt get anyone to issue me an account because of US citizenship no broker wanted to touch it..
What kind of broker an I looking for.. or is it like a partnership where I give them a cut of the profits..


ECN account where you have to put the order in first then modify for a SL and TP.
I remember those I search for weeks in my free time just to figure out if the broker was ECN that the order had to be put in first

Same broker. 2 sub accounts. you can still do this with 2 sub accounts. Long one account while shorting another. Transfer money where needed (sub account in house). Both accounts are usually under a master account.

It was different back then you could have week old order and new ones and as the trades began to swing back you could close them out slowly while closing out the news ones as well it didnt matter. I think I still have the EA from 2006 If I can get a nonUS one I will use it again ..

you will still have first in first out. But that's just psychological. One has to just think of the trade average. The only number that matters is the account equity. People are in competition with themselves. Some will destroy their account by trying to get a single trade to turn positive. Chasing ghost.

I agree with you.. Ive done that many time manually trading while away from where I usually trade.. averaging out positions Putting Stop on Support and Resistance knowing its going back but hoping it does not. When I am out and away of the comfort of home and trading. Ignorance knows no bounds. Sometime I think I am being clever.. lol its all down hill from there.
Most of the time I just trade the monthly move and call it month like now UJ is setup to drop 108.66.. by putting in a grid of sellstops and sell limits I can catch it down up and down again. If it moves and hits the limit order then i know it is not going back to the broker.
