So I do an options trade every morning. I just follow some guy, turned 25k into 250k over six months so it’d astonishingly consistent. It prints like crazy. The issue is that I can’t move my SL here's what I want to do.

    Place trade with a SL of -30%
    When I take my first TP1 at +20% I want to move my SL to either wherever I just exited (20%)
    Then my next TP2 will be whatever 30-40%. I'd like to sell some contracts here move my TP to TP1
    Then my next TP3 will be whatever 50%-60%. I'd like to sell some contracts here and move my TP to TP2.

    Is there anything that can do this well? CS won’t do it at all. Robinhood does it but I have to be exposed for a second. The trades are done in seconds or minutes so I need to automate it or something.

    Becuase I’m happy with 20% I close out at TP1 every time. Which is super respectable. But if I could grab these runners while protecting my profit. I’d gladly do so.

    Options trading platform for my use case.

      What does “I can’t move my SL” mean? You can replace an existing W/X stop-limit with a new Y/Z stop-limit. Unless you’re trying to set the new stop-limit at the current price (which makes no sense if it’s a profit-protection stop), the replacement will take milliseconds.
