Example
This example illustrates how precision and speed transform market prospects into actionable trades. The
strategy
buys NQ at 21,891, setting a stop loss at 21,841 and a take profit at 21,991, which is 100 points above. With
10
contracts, trade parameters are well defined, capping potential loss at $10,000 and profit at $20,000.
As soon as the alert goes off on TradingView, PickMyTrade places the order
immediately, ensuring no gap exists
between signal and market order. This level of system automation provides unwavering adherence to a trading
plan
without the need for a manual trader, even during periods of high volatility.
