This member is the original thread starter. A few Tradestation questions.

Could any of you guys that use Tradestation help me out and save me a call to the broker. I need a screenshot or description of the OSO order window on a 2 lot setup.
I can't figure out which spot to put the trailing stop in and for what amount of points.

What I want is a scalper lot out at 10 points.
Trail the stop to break even on the 2nd lot.
Open target on the 2nd lot so I'd probably set that limit order at 200 points or something way out there so it doesn't get hit and just manually trail the stop to structure high/lows then.
I think the below screenshot is right but I'm not playing it till I'm sure.


Oh...1 other side note. I had a 7 point slippage on a stop market order on YM, is that reasonable? I was pissed but it was a fairly sharp move and it's only happened 2 times on me.

Thanks.
