Hi
I want to open orders with take profit and stop loss like I do in metatrader 4 for FOREX.
Now I use setholding which I think doesn't work for me.
Also, do I need to specify BID or ASK price for sell and buy respectively for backtest, or does it use a midpoint?
Thanks

SetHoldings is a helper method to help with portfolio weighting, however there are many other order types that can be implemented:
As seen from the docs, the desired orders can be implemented. It is important to note you will need to specifiy the order quantity and the limit price of the order can be specified if a market order is not sufficient. QuantConnect even supports custom fill models.
