I use QuesTrade and while we are on the subject of online brokers do you know whether any of them offer the ability to place 2 simultaneous orders -

one - a protective stop sell order to limit your losses

the other - a limit sell order to lock in profits

This way, you could enter a trade and go on vacation, knowing that you will either be stopped out at a loss or you will have exited your trade with a profit. As far as I know, QuesTrade only accepts one order at a time which certainly makes things a lot more difficult than they have to be.
