Flatten everything once unrealized P/L reaches a certain number
I select the strat, it's asking me to enter the instrument, say I picked /MES, and pick the P/L target - say $100.
Next, I select the strat (wait until flat), check the box, and open my positions. Say 1 contract, of /NQ, 1 contract of /ES and 1 contract of /MES.
When the P/L reached $100, all of the positions didn't close. They only closed when the P/L of /MES reached $100 it seems (maybe something else triggered it, but I assume that's what happened, because it went flat at $200+ profit)
Stop Profit/Loss orders would accomplish your goal, unless, for some reason, you don't want to have working stops orders, but it would be a simple solution.
That would work if I had one underlying open at the same time.
If I have more than one, I want the NET unrealized P/l to be a certain number, and then flatten all of my positions. If say, it's $100, that could mean one position is +200 and one is -100 - net unrealized p/l +100, and i need to close them all at the same time.
