Limit Orders, Market Orders, and Stops: Tutorial

[@davidbowen5476]

Im new to trading, been looking for someone to explain just this topic at a pace other then speed speaking, thank God found you mate. Thanks again.

[@mauri-47]

I'm new at this may be is a dumb question but I don't get the difference between the stop order and the stoploss protection...

[@elroyblackbean]

Is there any way to create multiple Take Profit targets (where contracts sell at escalating prices on long orders, for example) when setting up the trade, vs. having to do so manually after the initial trade has been placed?

[@fredrickcallahan4292]

Hey Bap, did you ever figure that out?

[@elroyblackbean]

@@fredrickcallahan4292 Nope. I don't think there's a way to do it other than manually scaling out as new orders. My guess is there are OCO orders in TVs future...

[@fredrickcallahan4292]

@@elroyblackbean What's up Bap? What's your preferred platform and broker?

[@edsbloggingcom]

What is really missing is option to set “Move Stoploss to Breakeven” after x amount of pips. Also setting a trailing stop would be great!

[@TradingView]

For certain connected brokers you can set a trailing stop directly on TradingView! You can also manually move your stop loss to breakeven. We can send it to the team as well. Thank you for the feedback

[@MatDerKater]

What is really missing on TradingView, is a complete catalogue of trade management tools. No option to exit only a portion of the trade at certain levels, being one such example. Either exit the whole position, or none of it.......pretty poor.

Hey, I have tried fxcm. Everytime i open long/short position in the chart using TV tool, it is not reflected in the trading panel. I have to manually copy the open price, stop loss and limit, so it is no different with using MT for execution. TV should improve this to make it easier by automatically copy the trading plan in the chart to the trading panel!

[@fredrickcallahan4292]

You should be able to set your levels with the long/short tool and then right click the mouse, then click on "limit order" and the fields should be filled in on the trade panel from your long/short tool.

[@MrPiccolop]

Just had a really confusing moment on TV paper-trading. Set 3 trades on BUY on a good moving Trend. Should have been 3 successful trades with nice Profits but 2 of the orders didnt execute. After a bit of research my stop loss was set well, my take profit was set well, but the buy limit was sitting in the middle somewhere and apparantly had not been triggered when the Price reached profit targets. I still dont get how IF the BUY LIMIT was passed on the way up to the TAKE PROFIT level that the trade/order wasn't executed? Can someone here tell me what i failed to understand. Thanks in advance.

Good day. Thank you for the tutorial. I have a question if you can help? Currently on my good trades I am having to 'Partial close' my position at take profit areas, but this means I have to be at the computer to perform the manual task. Is there a way to set "multiple take profits" so that my trade can take partial profits without me having to manually perform the partial close function? I think this has been asked before in different ways without a reply. If this ability is not allowed, can you give some detail as to why ?

[@slamfreepoetry1845]

? does the Trading "long/short tool" actually place the trade? do you always have to use the trading panel to define your entry and exits or can you simply setup the trading tool and place a long or short trade visually and allow it to execute? thank you

[@kvnctr]

that's currently available but execution is still slow. you have to manually put your risk % and execute on the panel. it doesn not save your preset risk parameters etc. TV definitely needs a better solution for order execution especially for day traders

Hello, I bought TV Premium Subscription. Question : If I take a carry forward trade order in the day time which gets executed and before day closing if I find that it is in my favour, how do I place a carry forward stop loss i.e. if I place opposite carry forward order as a stop loss instead of Intraday, will that opposite direction (stop loss) order be still there next day and next day if price favours me which I can then move in direction of my favour to prevent loss of capital...something like an order which act as a stop loss in futures Ct. till I want it to be there, no matter how many number of days or weeks I want to hold it for.. please advise.

How come when you click on Limit Order, it doesn't adjust the limit as price changes in real time? I like to join the current bid or ask via Limit.... But every time I hit Limit it says Ask +6 or Ask +3 or +5. My other brokers like TDAmeritrade, have it where the Limit keeps adjusting to the current Bid or Ask. I don't see anyway to turn it off in the settings from doing that.
