can pending orders have TP and SL submitted on order send?
To be save just submit them with 0 and then modify. While researching this, I found posts where a broker disabled the Sl & Tp option on Pending Orders. However, I must say: If you're using a ECN/STP Broker for scalping (within 4-pips) then you might be better off submitting the order With the Sl and Tp provided that the broker allows it.

A while ago I learned that many (if not most) MT4 brokers nowadays cannot receive TP and SL submitted with a market order OrderSend. I wish that was documented! Adding to confusion is that it works as expected while backtesting but not when deployed. Anyway...
I'm currently working with pending orders and wonder if the same issue is the case.
Can I include TP and SL with the original pending order OrderSend? I imagine the answer is yes but just want to make sure.
Thanks
Bill
