I'm unaware of how you can do it manually with chevrons ... and if you do it manually via TWS I sorta doubt that OT will be able to continue to manage the trade ... In the TP, you insert another Condition-row in the Step after the initial entry, with a Condition attached that must be satisfied in order to fire an additional "scaling in" order. If you're writing custom Stop code for this, just pretend that "Signal=ExitSignal" really MEANS "Signal=EntrySignal" in this instance. Note that there normally should be other Condition-rows in that Step that provide stop-loss Exit protection as well. If the scaling-in condition hits, then the Jump-To step would have the necessary rules for exit - often they will be dup's of the rules in Step two. You ARE allowed to enter percentages > 100 for number of shares, btw. | |
