Hide your stop loss from your broker
With AlgoBars Ghost Orders, your stop loss, take profit and entry levels stay on AlgoBars servers and are never sent to your broker. No broker, market maker or algorithm can see them, so they cannot be hunted. When price reaches your level, AlgoBars sends a market order to your broker automatically. Ghost Orders are free on every account.

How Ghost Orders work
- Set your entry, stop loss and take profit as usual.
- The levels are stored on AlgoBars servers. Nothing is sent to your broker.
- When price reaches a level, AlgoBars sends a market order to your broker.
- Your broker never sees the level before it fires.
What you can hide

Entry orders
Set a hidden entry price.
Cost

Good to know
A Ghost Order fires as a market order when your level is reached, so in fast markets the fill can differ from the level (slippage), as with any stop that becomes a market order.
