Tradestation Profit Target

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

 

My question is about profit target. I'd like to take profit only on half of my position. Is it possible to do in easylanguage?

 

For example I open a long position with 2 contracts and then I want to take profit only on 1 contract.

 

Thank you in advance!

sure, why not... Just tell TradeStation to sell as many (or as little) as you want.

Hi altovolume80,

 

Here is the code,

 

If marketposition = 0 then Buy 2 contracts next bar at " your entry " stop or limit;

 

If marketposition = 1 then begin

Sell 1 contract next bar at " your target" limit;

Sell 1 contract next bar at " your stop or trailing stop" stop;

End;

 

Cheers,

Prathap
