Select the source of the average entry price for manual exit strategies in '''Exit Strategies Average Open Position Price''':#:* received from broker;#:* calculated based on order(s) execution price. # :5. Select the '''Exit Strategies Mode''':#:* '''First to Position, then to Orders''' - this is a combination of the 2 modes described below. The first exit strategy order works according to “[[Preferences#All to Positions|All to Positions]]” mode logic, all other exit orders work according to “[[Preferences#All to Orders|All to Orders]]” mode logic. #:* '''All to Position''' - whenever an exit strategy is used (whether it is an auto-attached exit strategy or it was manually dragged and dropped it onto an open position on the chart), the number of contracts of the exit strategy always depends on number of contracts of current open position and the exit strategy can be cancelled or vice versa, not placed at all, if an open position is closed or there is possibility of overfill (it can be cancelled manually).
#:* '''All to Orders''' - whenever an exit strategy is used (whether it is an auto-attached exit strategy or it was manually dragged and dropped it onto an open position on the chart), the number of contracts of the exit strategy is always fixed and the exit strategy is not cancelled under any conditions, it can be only filled (it can be cancelled manually).
# :6. '''Price Order Emulation''' - since '''MultiCharts 12''' it is possible to switch between native and emulated Stop, Limit and Stop-Limit orders in both auto trading and manual trading. This feature requires realtime data subscription on your broker account. When a Stop/Limit order is emulated - once the Stop/Limit price level is reached by the corresponding Ask/Bid or Trade prices, a market order is sent to the broker. When a Stop-Limit order is emulated - once the Stop price level is reached by the corresponding Ask/Bid or Trade prices, a Limit order is sent to the broker. In case Stop, Limit and/or Stop-Limit order emulation is enabled - the emulated OCO group is used, disregard the broker profile/autotrading broker plugin settings.

<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">Example:
# Similar to the described case: if you enter with an order + auto attached stop loss and then you place another order in opposite direction with attached profit target, the position will be closed and both stop loss order and profit target orders will be cancelled, because they are bound to open position in this mode.</div>
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">Example:
Similar to this case if you enter with an order + auto attached stop loss and then you place another order in opposite direction with attached profit target, the position will be closed, but both stop loss order and profit target orders will stay active, because they are not bound to open position in this mode. </div>
