Can anyone tell me if it is possible to emulate a limit order locally in multicharts?
I prefer that the broker can't see my take profit orders.

Thanks,
Kevin

fxpipmeister,

MC 10 only offers emulation of stop and stop limit orders.

Depending on what you mean by emulating you could try two things:
- rewrite your code to use stop limit orders for your targets and have MC emulate them
- monitor target levels with your code and send a limit order (a market order) when the target level is met

Thanks ABCTG for the quick reply.

I cant figure out why multicharts would emulate a stop order, and a stoplimit order, but not a limit order,

It just doesn't make sense to me!

fxpipmeister,

you are welcome. I don't know why they chose to do that, but you could ask in the official forum and/or leave a feature request for that.
