Manually setting stop losses and take profits

[mrmenstig]

The broker im using atm is alpari uk
the trading system im using is oneclickpips
it starts trades fine but wont exit them
can i manually set the take profits setting myself or is it left down to the ea as ive watched it go from being +100 or so down to -whatever numerous times
im using a lot setting of 0.03 on a 5k demo account
if i can set it manually how would i do this as im very new to trading. Would i have to set it as a currency value (1.e 1.4366 etc) or can you set a take profits at £100 for example?
Thanks.

Right click on the trade. You can modify the order (putting in a SL or TP). You can also add a trailing stop. Unless the EA decides to "fix" what you've done, that should solve the problem.

Give it a try on a demo account first. That way you can see if the EA is going to do something weird if you start modifying it's orders. I think the chances of this are small, but you never know what strange things a programmer may have built in.
