Hello Stephane,

1. Yes you can use multiple ApplyStop calls to define many kind
of stops (max loss, profit target and trailing stop) and they will be
checked and executed simultaneously.

2. Yes the buyprice for the first buy is kept during the trade, regardless
of extra signals that maight be generated since the entry.

3. Yes it will be possible, when position size is available from AFL (v 3.9)
4. Yes.

Best regards,
