I am having a severe brain freeze and cannot figure out how to do this on trading plan I am working on.
Say for instance, I want to put in a order to cover an iron condor I sold. The current price is $2.75. When the price drops to $2.08 (10% profit for me), I want to trigger a stop order so that if the price rises to $2.39, a limit order to buy my condor back at $2.44 (5% profit) (giving up .05 to help cover bid/ask spread).
I would also like to know how to replace this order automatically if the price then drops to $1.72, with a stop order of $2.44 if the price rises to $2.39. etc.
Thanks for any help, say this in on the TOS platform.
