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.

Another example of a conditional order. The first buy stop order will, once executed, trigger a second buy stop order at a higher entry price. This allows traders to build up a position.
