Trade Strategies

Using the Trade Strategies feature, available only on Tradient Pro and Tradient Plus platforms, is one of the most effective ways to control your trades and manage risk. It removes the emotion from trading by setting the rules and market conditions that must be met for your trade to be placed.
With Trade Strategies, a wizard guides you through the process of framing your conditional order strategies.
  • Select the type of strategy
  • Specify the price you want to receive and the market conditions which must be met before your order is placed
  • Specify market conditions which will cause the strategy to be automatically abandoned
  • Set strategies for entry and exit so that both sides of your position are covered
Sample strategy:
“Entry Trade—Buy 100 shares of CSCO if the stock falls to $19.85. This is a market order. Abandon the entire strategy if the stock falls below $19.05, or if it rises above $20.02, or if entry is not achieved by 11a.m. EST.”
Add, edit, remove or submit strategies with the click of a button. Your OCO and OTO order strategies are held server side so they will be triggered even if you are not logged into the system.
