how to + - Ticks in strategy builder

[jmahon]

Hi ninja community.

When building crypto algos and needing to offset limit orders i have always used + - athematic with no issue. For some reason in traditional futures like 6E this does not work so instead use tick size. Tick size does work but by default can only do + ticks and i also need - ticks. Any ideas how i can get around this?

Thanks is advance for any help

Hello jmahon,

Thanks for your post.

Correct., when selecting Ticks you can only add them, however, you can also enter as a negative number of ticks which will create the subtractive effect you are looking for

So if you enter 5 then it will add 5 ticks. If you enter -5 then it will add a negative 5 ticks which will subtract 5 ticks.
