If you are in a long trade, it would look something like this:
if marketposition=1 then begin
sell next bar at XXXX stop;
sell next bar at YYYY limit;
end;
XXXX and YYYY would be prices you calculate based on your scheme. You could use reserved words like "maxpositionprofit" and "openpositionprofit" to help you know when to move stops.
Simple example:
XXXX=3100.00; //set stop at price of 3100
if maxpositionprofit> 1000 then XXXX=3140; //once $1000 per contract hit, stop moves up to 3140
It can get trcky, but that should at least get you started.
I was looking to accomplish the same thing with no luck. Tradestation seems limited as far as easily and quickly maneuvering in and out of trades, with multiple profits targets and stops. I started looking at other platforms and seems like sierra charts can do this easily with breakeven stop functionality as well as scale in and scale out. So I'm planning on trying it out with my AMP account.
