Can't Sell Position with an Open Stop Loss
Brandi replied to Brandi's topic in Day Trading Hardware, Software and Tools
Yes that is helpful! Thank you! So just to clarify, are you saying that this it does not work the same way in the live (non-demo) version? (I have not started live trading yet) -
Hello, I just started sim trading this week, and I keep getting hung up on something. I have figured out how to buy shares (long in this example), and then I was able to add a Stop Market order to sell those at a certain price. However, if the stock price moves up and I want to exit at my target price, I have to cancel my Stop Loss order before I can sell. I think this makes sense, in that I cannot have 2 open sell orders on the same position, but how do we work around that? Do I just cancel the stop loss before I sell every time? Can someone point me in the right direction on this? Thanks so much! -Brandi
