Question about limit, stop and trailing orders

New comment
 
Hello,

Now if I place a limit order (buy) and it goes sell will I loose money? 

Now if I place a stop order will I loose money if it goes the other direction? 

Can I cancel a stop or limit order without loosing money? 

Now what happens if I place 2 orders in the opposite direction with trailing? Will it result in profit for me? One will close out in profit and the other will close in loss but I will end up in more profit than loss?

Bonus: Can someone here please consult/advise me on how I can achieve an always winning trading action? I mean how can I place a trade or trades that will always result in a profit? Maybe you have already come by this and can share? Maybe you can place 2 opposite trades and will end up in always profit? You know something like that, do you happen to know how this can be achieved? Please advise me. Thank you! Dan

all these and every other trading question you can think of can be answered with examples and details by doing a google search.

All except the "achieve an always winning trading action". I'll answer this one... not possible!

I think that you did not, even do a search of this site before making your post. If you had, then, you would have answered most of the questions beforehand. I recommend that you look on codebase and read many of the articles on this site. There is much lacking in this website, however, the articles are mostly good reading. from basic to novice and to advanced and expert. Whether you want to learn to trade from scratch or instructions on how to use metatrader and its indicators, and then even more articles on coding; which is the main purpose of the forum section of the site. We give mostly free support for metatrader and how to use its indicators. What most of us dont respond to is to newbies. no offence intended, but you will be lucky to get any response beyond this from others due to the sorts of questions that you have asked. We usually only respond to coding questions and examples of the code that a fellow coder is having issues with.

Nvm my apologies Michael, sorry for the newbie-ness. Now they have appeared to come when the least time was on and so on monday things will be brighted for me and I do not need this anymore snd so I thank you again for your honest and this is the best that could have been asked and replied for and such on. Do you happen to know how I can close this topic? I will have to eventually try for myself on monday when the market is open. These questions arised when I noticed that a bot I had setup on a vps placed these orders called stop orders and limit orders and since I am so new I did not knew what they were! And so the questions came and things got spiced up because I noticed when I closed the trades I did not loose any money and I got curious and stuff but thanks for your very honest reply to my topic and I am happy for it. Thank you friend, now how do I close this topic/delete it? I can’t seem to find a delete button!
Thank you for solving the next issue for me friend. Thanks for being my man

stop orders and limit orders are not "open positions". they are placed at prices where your bot thinks that the price will hit in the future. If price does hit these, then, the bot may open a position. So, that is why you did not lose any $$$.

There is no delete button. However, a moderator will decide to either leave this thread open, or to delete it in coming days, i am sure. But I do not see how any moderator will have any issue with leaving the thread alive.

Stop order, stop sense, stop loss, stop comments, stop commence, stop mql4, stop common, stop mql5.com, alright thanks for your reply in these depths. Will try on monday and see how it behaves so I learn in real market times. 

Now I have insight in this topic and understand why I did not lose any top $$$$$ thanks for your kind relation in mine. 

Now about the topic deletion, how weird that you can not delete your own topic.. it is a core function of a forum. But yes, I do believe that they will have this open. Maybe they notice that I said I want it closed and close it we’ll see. Thanks for now on my friend. Thanks.
