Returning the ticket/deal numbers

What have you got so far?

nothing at the moment

[William Roeder]

jon: nothing at the moment	learn to code it, or pay (Freelance) someone to code it. We're not going to code it for you. We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem.

Forum on trading, automated trading systems and testing trading strategies

Welcome,

• Usually people who can't code don't receive free help on this forum, though it could happen if you are lucky, be patient.
  
• If you show your attempts and describe well your problem, you will most probably receive an answer from the community.
• If you don't want to learn to code, nothing bad, you can either look at the Codebase if something free already exists, or in the Market for paid products (sometimes free also).
• Finally, you also have the option to hire a programmer in the Freelance section.
  

Good luck.

You have to check your SL/TP against the StopLevels.
