Oh, I see you�re trying to set stops, but you need to set that up before you enter short. So it needs to be fixed. Thanks Andrew, your contribution is very useful I add my doubt. I see that the stop is sent to the broker while the profit is not sent but when it's reached the position exit correctly. The TakeProfit it's executed like a market order? Is it possible to set it like a pending order? thanks again
