Hello,
I want to create a simple strategy for managing my manual trades (moving SL to BE when a position is X pips in profit). Looks easy, but I need the strategy to handle just my manual positions and to ignore others placed by other strategies.
How do I do it? Is there any trick?

I tried to filter the positions using Position.Label, but labels at manual positions are not empty, but generated, so this didn't work.

PLease help.

Thanks

Hi,

Did you tried to use the field comment in your order command block ? meaning you identify the orders/positions created by your strategy by a given comment and IF this comment is not identified in a submitted order/position => Manual order

Hi amine,

Oops, sure, my mistake. It couldn't work using Label.
Fixed to use the "comment", but it still doesn't work for me :(

As manual trades don't have any "comment", the strategy says "null" when processing such a trade by an IF block and then the IF block does't proceed in comparing the "null" with "mycomment". It never gets through even the result is "=" or "!=".
Attached is the strategy.

Any idea how to get over this?

Many thanks for your help.

Alright,
You need to use it as displayed: In order to find this "Infinity" variable which may sounds strange :) just click on the small icon as shown below and you'll get it.

If comment = nothing <=> Comment = Infinity : manual trading then the flow pass over
If comment = Something <=> Comment != Infinity: Automated trading (whatever the comment is) then the flow goes in that side.. If later you need to specify a comment to identify which strategy is doing what, then simply add another IF block with the specific text comment.
