    help adding a condition if bid is to far from alert

    I use a strategy script from the wizard, I went to add a condition that I can not figure out how to add.
    It triggers a buy when the SMA crosses, but if the bid is too far away from the cross I do not want it to buy. Lets say the cross happens at $10.00 if the bid is $10.20 then I want it to fill if a pull back $10.10 or not at all

    Hello mitwave00,

    There are likely a few ways you can do this. One thing to keep in mind is that bid price is a real time only value, so if you use it in a backtest it will substitute the close price instead.
    • Use Bid instead of Close as a cross input.
    • Use the offset field to add / subtract values so you're checking for crossing + or - the offset specified.
    • Add more control to your entry order with a limit or stop order.
