How do you know which orders belong to which set ? assume you have 2 sets of buys and 2 sets of sells, how would you identify which orders belonged to which sets ?

Thanks for your interest, I want to use one set of BUYSTOPS and one set of SELLSTOPS so all I have to identify is either the BUYSTOPS or SELLSTOPS just like a trailing stop, basically I want the BUYSTOP grid to trail price as a complete set so that each BUYSTOP if it is for example 15 pips apart retains that distance. I am presuming the Pending order open price is what needs to be altered progressively for each pending order so that if price moves down 2 pips all the BUYSTOPS also move down 2 pips after the trailing distance is exceeded just like...

It's clear but it don't really answer my question . . . what I don't really understand is why ? if you keep moving these orders as price moves how will they ever be activated ?

hey cja..... to have the grid march in step, up or down, do not use ask or bid in the ordermodify comand line..... instead use orderopenprice(), orderstoploss(), ordertakeprofit(), and orderlots()......

this maintains each orders specific's and will keep them from 'bunching up' as you mentioned....

this goes for pending orders and as well as open orders..... in the chart below, using the commonly seen trailingstop() function will cause all orders to 'bunch up'...... but using each orders specific metrics will keep the trailing but spaced...
