WHS ForexStation contains a great variety of automated ordertypes such as OCO orders, conditional orders and trailing stop orders. An OCO order, sometimes called a bracket order, consists of two orders for opening (closing) a position. When one of the two orders is executed, the remaining order will be canceled automatically. A conditional order is an order for opening and/or closing positions. Once one order is executed the platform will automatically launch one or more other orders selected by the trader. A trailing stop order is an order whereby the stop automatically follows the market. As such you can automate your risk management. All these automated orders are very practical trader tools.
