I trade with MBTrading.
I am a scalper/daytrader.
How do I set a disaster stop loss in MCDT in case my internet connection lost.
I don not want to set it after every trade since I hold each trade for a very short period.

Re: Stop Loss
You mean a Stop order that is not tied to any position? Generally you can specify the Time in Force for your stop orders, and they are stored on the broker servers. You can try specifying a Good-Til-Cancelled or Day IF and see if MB Trading will accept that.
However, you can just auto-attach an exit strategy with a stop order to every order that you place, every time you place an order.

Re: Stop Loss
For the record, same response to the same question here - http://www.bigmiketrading.com/multichar ... post146131
Re: Stop Loss
Подскажите ,пожалуйста!Я хочу,чтобы после открытия позиции стоп-лосс автоматически выставился на определённом расстоянии и потом,после перехода позиции в плюс,этот стоп-лосс автоматически переставился на нужное мне количество пунктов в плюс и больше не передвигался за ценой,а стоял на одном месте,даже если профит увеличивается.Если мне будет нужно,я его сам передвину вручную.Как это сделать?Спасибо!
Re: Stop Loss
Please help. After opening a position I want to have an automatically attached Stop Loss on a certain level, after the position turns to profit, this stop loss should move to the specified number of pips and stop moving after the price even if the profit is increasing. I will move it manually in case I need that.

Re: Stop Loss
In the DOM window you can make a right click on the Stop loss exit strategy, click on Edit and specify the amount of loss. You can also auto attach it as exit strategy. In this case when you open a position, stop loss will be automatically attached at the specified level.
Re: Stop Loss [SOLVED]
How the "Amount of profit" is calculated?
1)[Amount of profit]=[The Last Price]-[The Open Price],
or:
2)The Buy Position: [Amount of profit]=[Bid] - [The Open Price],
The Sell Position: [Amount of profit]=[The Open Price] - [Ask] ?
Thanks.
