The | The Breakeven Stop LX uses the PowerLanguage keyword [[SetBreakEven]] to place an order to exit all shares or contracts in all positions once a specified profit floor has been reached. The profit floor can be set on a total position basis, or on one contract/one share basis. The profit target amount is determined by the FloorAmt input. When the profit exceeds the breakeven profit floor, the stop exit order is placed at a value of the entry price plus the commission specified. Check the related article on [[Strategy Properties]] for more info. The stop orders are stop market orders. If the price falls back to the entry price, a market order is generated and sent into the market. | ||
