I have been considering making the target optional, this has been suggested by other Investor/RT users. The work around for now is to set a very distant target and then you can cancel the target working order if you want to or leave it working far away from the market price. A Flatten trading order will cancel both working orders and exit the position. Is there a need to make the stop optional? Why would a trader want to enter a position with a profit target but no protective stop?
As a workaround, I've set the target to a distant number of ticks away and then X out the Target Ref Line manually.
Regarding a target and no protective stop, it's not my thing (others may have a reason, although I don't think they would be chart trading), but simply suggested it in the spirit of I/RT - users being able to customize just about everything in the platform which is obviously a good thing.
Hi. When I get into a position using the bracket order, when I tp, IRT will show myself in more of a position then I was already in. I know this is inaccurate because rtrader pro states my position. I am aware there is a button I can add that can refresh or update to rtrader to show the correct position, but how?
