Something like this maybe--

Code: Select all

setstoploss(300);
setprofittarget(600);

Hello Jimmyrakete,

Unfortunately you cannot add self-coded templates. You can use only prebuilt ones.

A possible alternative would be to enter your position manually and let an automated exit take control (after entry), with your stop and profit targets automated..
You'll have to search for it in the forum, but I've seen code examples posted...(by MC support)..

Sptrader is right. But please note that by default auto-trading and manual trading are 2 completely separate things. Please read this article attentively.
