Trailing stops om PRT platform


DAVIDMCCULLOCH1983

Question

Hi

I am currently using PRT via IG for my trading and i wish to use the trailing stop function.  I do not seem to be able to add a trailing stop/trailing step function to my pending orders.  I get a response to say TS can only be applied to market orders and not working orders.  I know from previous use of MT4 that i was able to utilise an EA for this but just seeing if anyone has a work around for this issue as it does seem like it should be straight forward.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @DAVIDMCCULLOCH1983,

Thank you for your post. 
It is not possible to place a Trailing stop on a working order the dealing logic won't allow it.


You can add a trailing stop while placing an order or once the position is open. You can have an EA to add trailing stop on open positions.

I hope that it helps.

All the best - Arvin

    • Dow Jones Index (#US30): Key Levels to Watch This Week   Here is my latest structure analysis and key levels to watch this week on ⚠️Dow Jones.   Support 1: 31420 - 31830 area Support 2: 30690 - 30900 area Support 3: 30070 - 30360 area   Resistance 1: 32250 - 32610 area Resistance 2: 33430 - 33660 area   The market is currently stuck between Support 1 & Support 2. The market participants are awaiting the interest rate decision on Wednesday. It will most likely clarify the future direction of the market with a breakout.   Consider the underlined structures for pullback/breakout trading.
    • I used to enjoy playing poker and blackjack at casinos, but my love for gambling turned into an addiction when I started losing more often than winning. It took hitting rock bottom for me to seek help and change my habits. I joined a support group and worked with a therapist to develop healthier habits. Now, I still go to casinos, but I do so with caution and moderation, setting strict limits and avoiding addictive games. I've learned to control my impulses and make smarter decisions when it comes to my finances.
    • Hi @MayorofBelsize and All,  After checking with the relevant team, the integration will be finalized to mid year. It will be a staggered launch so not all countries will get access at the same time. We will confirm the details of the integration and the date by email to all our clients. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience.  All the best, OfentseIG
