What you are seeking to implement are most often called 'soft-stops', where you dynamically track P&L, closing order(s) when the required target(s) are reached - as opposed to placing 'hards-stops', which the broker can see and spike...

A hard-stop of some degree is essential imo (for the 'just-in-case' scenario..) but even this won't save you if you have a completely unscrupulous broker - such as Fxopen: -

Brokers Scam
