Adding stops and targets to strategy

[Melcotran]

I am not a programmer, so I want to add stops and targets to my strategy using the wizard. The explanation I got before gave me programming instructions that I don't know how to use.

This is not much help. I have reviewed this guide. Do I have to enter an exit order in the Conditions and Actions section and add a profit target in the Stops and Targets section that is the next step? I want to enter short at a cross over of the average I'm using and have a profit target of a certain number of ticks. And the reverse trade, enter long at another cross over with a similar target. The examples in the guide simply aren't specific enough.

Melcotran,

You simply create your entry in the Conditions and Actions page then you tack on the profit target and stop loss on the following page. When you enter a trade it will automatically fire off those profit target and stop loss orders for you once you have entered a position.
