I was watching this for a double tap break of range on the daily. The double buy was just me bickering with prodigio to get my size. Unfortunately I had to leave for a bit while this spiked, or else it would have been a nice play. As it stands I sold this when it looked like it was not going to be running any higher.

Yes I do. However, I didn't here. Long story, but basically since I am off on Friday I was not expecting to be away at the time I purchased. I should have reviewed this before I left and set something, but I was in a hurry to leave once I found out I needed to. One potential issue is I usually set a limit on a partial, but then still have a stop for my original amount. I have come back to see my position flipped sometimes after they both fire.

I have the same issue Mike -- I asked about it the other day and Nape pointed me toward Bracket Orders (https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/?f=%2Fen%2Ftrading%2Forders%2Fbracket.php). I haven't tried them out yet.
Is this possible on Prodigio? When I was trading live I used to use conditional orders. So if my limit hit it could cancel or change my stop. I have not seen anything like that in Prodigio, although I will admit I have not looked very hard.

Do you use LMT orders for your targets? For example, set a limit sell for a partial position at your first target.. that way, when you walk away, if your target gets hit, you can still take profits? It's tricky (at least in ToS) when there are no shares available to borrow because you have to choose to set a STP at or a LMT, and I usually choose STP to prevent losses.
