Chose a specific position to sell with alerts


Pro85

Question

Hi

I use PRT and will be buying and closing positions using alerts with an associated triggers. Sometimes I will buy multiple positions for different purposes and I was wondering how to make sure the "right" position closes when I associate a sell order with the alert?

Let's say I already have 1000 shares of a stock that I intend to keep for at least another few months. While I have this position open I decide to buy another 500 shares of the same stock that I only intend to keep for a few days. I can see in my portfolio that the positions are separated from each other so so far everything is good. Now how can I make sure that when I after a few days put an alert with an associated sell order of 500 shares that it sells only the position that i bought recently? Would PRT know what position to sell because the number of shares that I specified are the same? Would it for example sell my longer term investment if I would have associated a trigger to the alert to sell 1000 shares?

I have now tested different ways to sell on the demo account and I couldn't find a way to do it. It always seems to sell the oldest position first. In the the end the best way to "fix" the issue was to simply open a second CFD account for my short term trading.

    • DogeDay always brings back memories of 2019 when my friends were diving into Dogecoin and joining farming activities. That's why I'm excited to explore the Bitget DogeDay giveaway event. Plus, with tomorrow's BTC halving, the excitement is doubled!
    • As a meme fan, I have been waiting patiently for the Bull trend that happened to BTC recently to get to all the alts and so we can have what we had back then in 2021 to happen again, but time the strength of the uptrend has not been able to match up with what I am expecting and I do hope that the halving will help, but looking at the hype that is usually expected from the meme community. I don't think I'll be able to wait for the trend to resume and so I am taking more steps ahead of the game, taking up all the opportunities I believe would help the price-trend of my holdings, especially for the DOGE memes and I have found this DOGEDAY event ongoing and it really made a lot of sense to me, because if we look at how the DOGE coins have performed in the past. I believe if we can have a Bitcoin day to celebrate the first cryptocurrency, then we should be able to have a DOGEDAY too looking at the success rate of the meme and the support from the community. For me, this is something special that is worth the energy, vibes and hype and worth participating it. There are different sections to the event, which include the Twitter part, where Bitget is sharing $3,00 to those participating( https://twitter.com/bitgetglobal/status/1780495739984150962Twitter Post ) and the telegram event, and I believe this will favour those that love to bet on the price of coins. They are sharing 100BGB tokens for this and the Discord event has a 90BGB token to be shared.  If we can have Bitcoin's day, then this DOGEDAY should be observed in all the DOGE communities and I will admonish meme lovers to observe events like this because it reflects the nature of memecoin and the hype around it.
