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

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.

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.
