Order to sell bond / stock at one of two prices crossed, rather than one price
I am totally new to investing not always have time to monitor the current bond price. I would like to know if it is possible when selling a bond or stock to set a price range, for e.g. To sell if either the instrument value reaches a high of 1.08 or a stop order if it reaches 1.05.
Is this something which one can do when trading?

This is called a Contingent Order and is set up so if one order is filled (in this case) the other order is cancelled.
It's a common desire that one would wish to have a stop-loss in place but also a targeted sell price for their in-the-money sell point.
Your broker will tell you all you need to know about how to enter this, if you explain you'd like to place a contingent order. (As Victor noted below, your specific order would be a "One Cancels Other" or "OCO")
Great first question, welcome to Money,SE.
