And you definitely can't pre place a stop-loss on that order.
No problem
Well I had a good play around yesterday and I found that I could set the stop-sell order to open the short at a lower price, which is great. I could also add my limit-buy order to close the short.
But you are right, I was unable to pre-place my stop-loss order. This is the main problem for me. If the price rises again while I'm sleeping my order isn't safe. It would be great if there was a way to do this.
that's interesting and good to know! but yeah have to agree too risky w/o the SL
Glad to share it
Yeah definitely. I have it set up to notify me when the short is opened so I can hop on and set the stop loss then, but I think I'm gonna write a small script to do it for me in case it is during the night.
