OCO (One Cancels the Other)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A one-cancels-the-other order (OCO) is a pair of conditional orders stipulating that if one order executes, then the other order is automatically canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After activating the OCO function, Trade Manager “remembers” all pending orders and when one of them is activated, the rest are deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n

WARNING!<\/strong> Removing one of the orders does not cancel the other ones, but only activation the pending order will do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing and clearing lines (open, stop and target) is on the one button<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After drawing the open, stop and target lines on the chart, the pencil icon changes to an eraser icon that can be removed from the chart.<\/p>\n\n\n

Trailing stop: activation parameter as% of distance to TP and parameter trailing as protection of% of earned profit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
Trailing stop settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Trailing stop Start can be set as% of distance to TP, e.g. if TP = 30 pips and Start = 75% then trailing start after 75% of 30 pips = 22.5 pips<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also “Trailing” parameter can be set as% of earned profit, so let’s back to our example:
TP = 30 pips
Start = 75%
Trailing = 50%
when the trailing stop is activated at 22.5 pips profit, the stop will be moved to a distance of 11.2 pips, which protects 50% of the current profit (50% of 22.5 pips)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ability to disable button to open market orders when lines (open, stop and target) are drawn on the chart (pending orders only)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Display stop and target as a % of the account balance or equity using tags
::sl_bpct<\/strong> i ::tp_bpct<\/strong> -% of the account balance
::sl_epct<\/strong> i ::tp_epct<\/strong> -% of the account equity<\/p>\n\n\n

Break even offset as% of earned profit (“Profit” parameter)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in the case of trailing stop, we can set the “Profit” parameter for Breakeven as a percentage to protect, for example, 25%, 30%, 45%, etc., of the already earned profit, i.e. as in the example below:<\/p>\n\n\n

Break even will be activated after 50 pips and the stop will be moved to 5 pips (protection of 10% of earned profit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
