upper and lower limit

Danny All Messages By This Member #53586 Hello all, ? I would like to set an upper and lower limit for selling stocks I hold. For example, let's say that I hold 120 shares of SMCI and the current price is 32.50. I would like to SELL those 120 shares if it reaches 34.71 OR if it went down and reached 31.20: ? SMCI-STK--0.0---SMART-Nasdaq-USD-----SELL-120-STP-34.71 SMCI-STK--0.0---SMART-Nasdaq-USD-----SELL-120-STP-31.2 ? The question is, if I only hold 120 shares, can I still do that since I sent 2 calls of 120 shares each (240 in total)? Will it be rejected with "you are trying to sell 240 SMCI shares but you only hold 120"? ? Thank you

But there IS a problem here: because current price is below the trigger price of that first order, it will be executed immediately – not what you want. ? To fix this, use a ‘market if touched’ (MIT) order for the first one. ? By the way, few members have much knowledge of the socket protocol, so when asking this sort of question it’s best to express it in terms of API calls. ? Richard
