Adding trailing stop to orders and open positions?

[sketch]

Hi all,

Pretty novice here but looking to re-platform from PLus500.

Just getting my head around demo mode, I cant seem to find a way to add a trailing stop to my open positions or in an order, is this possible? 

Orders screen im only able to add a guaranteed stop, open positions im only able to amend the stop/limit in a fixed position.

Hi @sketch

Thank you for reaching out. 

There are two ways to add a trailing stop. 

1. You can insert a trailing stop when putting in a market order to deal at the current price. This can be done under "Deal" (or Trade in he mobile app) from the dealing ticket on the platform. 

2. From open positions. 

If you click in the stop box, it gives you the option to select the drop down error where you can find the option to add a trailing stop. You will need to add the following for the trailing stop to be accepted:

• Stop Level Price level at which current position will close if no trailing advantages occur
• Stop Distance Number of points the stop level should be away from the current price when trailing advantages occur
• Step Distance Number of points the underlying market will need to move before trailing advantages occur

All the best, OfentseIG

Thanks for this, great info.

 

Is it possible to add to an order? for example, if I find a signal I agree with but want to amend to a trailing stop? 

 

or would I need to wait for it to become an open opposition to amend?

Hi @sketch

We don't have the option to add it to an order. You might have to wait for the position to open to add the trailing stop.

Bonjour à tous,

J'étais aussi intérréssé par cette question pour placer un "stop suiveur" sur une position ouverte or je n'arrivais pas à mettre en applicatin la réponse de @OfentseIG ne voyant pas la liste déroulante, je viens de comprendre pourquoi. Donc j'ajoute à ce fil de discussion la solution pour ceux comme moi qui n'y arrive pas :

En fait il faut préciser que la solution ne fonctionne que si l'on est dans la fenêtre de toutes positions ouvertes mais pas si l'on ouvre la mini fenêtre de position ouverte depuis le graphique de la position (par double clic sur sur l'entête de ligne de position)

Peut-être @OfentseIG que l'équipe de développement pourrait modifier le codage pour que l'on puisse aussi ajouter le stop suiveur depuis le graphique ?
