Example: t1 is set manually, after entry, to 20 ticks from entry (ATM was used to bracket upon entry and then adjusted) -> rule is: if current price is (T1-10) go to breakeven for S1, (T1-5) jump S1 to (current price-2) etc. I hope my question is clear. Any and all input is appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Guy.
