How to Use and Create the % Profit Target or Stop Hotkey

This article talks about the Windows-based, downloadable edition of the Warrior Trading Simulator, which is being retired after July 31st, 2026. Users of the new, web-based platform should refer to this folder instead.

Members can use the Member Renewal & Information page to learn more about how to transition to the new platform.



A nice newer feature of the WT Sim is the ability to set hotkeys to execute profit targets or stop orders based on a % gain or loss from your average entry price on your current position.


Below are some examples of such hotkeys:


Stop loss hotkey based on % change from your average entry point:


Profit target hotkey based on % change from your average entry point (this one will sell 1/4 of your position  after the price moves up 1 %):



Please adjust hotkeys to the market or style you are trading, and change the position size or % you want the price to move.


For further help creating hotkeys please see our hotkey guide here: https://support.warriortrading.com/en/support/solutions/articles/19000093705-how-to-build-use-and-understand-hotkeys 


Keep in mind that: STOP ORDERS DO NOT TRIGGER PREMARKET AND ONLY TRIGGER 930AM EST TO 4PM EST
