why not have buy-limit-stop / sell-limit-stop ?

[Yu Zhang]

MT5 have buy-stop-limit / sell-stop-limit , but why not have  buy-limit-stop / sell-limit-stop. I think this is also usefull. I suggest add it.

This has something to do with the functions within the trading platform and the functions to trade in general. If this function is not available then another is used for it.

Is there a way to put buy-limit-stop / sell-limit-stop orders?

Hi Alain - sorry for replying late. I missed notification. I want to put a limit price which is above current price and when current price reaches this limit price, I want to put a sell stop order for stop price below current price. how do I achieve this in MT4/5? I won't be around at computer when limit price is reached.

These orders don't exist under MT4/MT5, they need to be coded to be automated or done manually.

Thanks Alain. Isn't there any EA which can do this for me?

Hi every one

any success with  "buy limit stop"  "sell limit stop".

we need to be able to place pending order of Sell Stop even when the current price is below our desire Sell Stop level and this order would be trigered when and only when price reached a certain level above the Sell Stop level.

Below uploaded pictures are the concept.
