Description

Please add some new reserve words for setting Targets and Stops on a per contract basis. Please also add new reserve words for setting all targets and stops by Price, and not by Dollar amount.
For example:
SetProfitTarget1_by_Price(1400.25);
SetProfitTarget2_by_Price(1404.75);
SetProfitTarget3_by_Price(1408.00);
This would set the profit target for contract 1 to 1400.25, contract 2 to 1404.75, and contract 3 to 1408.00.
This is far simpler than me creating a switch/case statement to know how many contracts I currently have on, and then issue individual orders for each contract. Then duplicate the entire code block and do it all again for shorts.
Also:
SetStopLoss1_by_Price(1390.00);
This would set the stop loss for Contract 1 @ 1390.00.
Also, please add the _by_Price directive for the keywords.

Steps to reproduce this issue

Feature request.

Even better:
SetProfitTarget_By_Price(contractnumber, price);
Same with
SetStopLoss_By_Price(contractnumber, price);
