Price usually goes against initial trade by 20-30pips so why not take advantage of it by setting a buy/sell limit at the same time the buy or sell signal is generated. you could set the TP to the open price say 15-30 pips or let it ride along with the first TP of 42 pips(or whatever). If it isn't hit then have phoenix close it when 1st TP is hit.
Reading this when I'm awake helps a lot. That does make sense but knowing what "usually" is would be important. Maybe set a SL=breakeven once you hit 5 pip profit too. Adding trades like this sounds like a fun thing to do for Phoenix 6 candidates, trying out new code.

Right now my main interest is simply making Phoenix more reliable and robust. I will put this on my list of things to write. If someone else wants to write it in the meantime, sounds great. Having a few experiments sitting around would be entertaining to programmers I think.
