Dear Admin,

I would like to change the "side" of the positions SL and TP (i.e. set the stop loss of a long position at ask instead of bid price). I try changing the "side" setting of the SL block from "same side" to "opposite side" but it does not change anything - when the pending order is created the SL is still set at "bid". Is this parameter not working or how can I do this? Thank you.

Hello.

You can change side of SL trigger, but it is imposible for TP.
Please read about how Take Profit order works.

If something is not working please provide the issue description and strategy that replicates it.

Kind regards, Support Team.

Dear Vadim,

I do not think the "side" setting of the SL Block is working. I.e. when pending long is set, the SL Block always sets the SL at bid, regardless of if I set "same side" or "opposite side". The file is attached. Thank you

Your strategy sets new Open Buy Stop order and adds Stop Loss order to it.
To change the trigger on Open Stop order you should cancel it and set new.
For more info please use the manual:
