ATM Activate Break Even after first target filled

[hurleydood]

I would like to have the ability to have a break even stop after Target 1 is filled.

I know you can have Target 2's stop strategy to auto break even after a profit trigger, which I set to Target 1's target plus a tick.

My suggestion: Profit Trigger for Target 2 could have the option to use the fill status of Target 1 instead of a numeric Profit Trigger.

Hello hurleydood,

Thanks for your post.

I have submitted a feature request for more intuitive Profit Triggers on your behalf and have noted your interest for triggering after a target fill. The ticket ID is SFT-3239.

Feature request interest is aggregated before it is determined if the feature should be implemented, so we can't offer an ETA. Upon implementation the ticket ID number can be found publicly on the Release Notes page of the help guide. I'll provide a link below.

Please let me know if there is anything else we can do to assist.

If it makes it any easier another popular software product calls this Auto Break-even feature "OCO Group Triggered". Also they only have two options "Trigger Offset" and "Trigger OCO Group".
When the first OCO group gets filled it will trigger the second OCO to move it's stop to breakeven.

With NT ATM I have to set the auto break-even trigger to be my first OCO target "plus 1 tick" and sometimes have to drag my stop manually especially on the ES.
