Manual Entry, strategy exit

[Mathias79]

Hello

Is it possible to create a strategy or any other way to buy/sell at market manually, but take profit would be when an indicator crosses a specific level?
For example, I click the buy market manually and it takes profit when the RSI crosses 70 level.
I know how to create the exit part in the strategy builder, but I don't know how to do the manual part

Thanks for your help.

Hello Mathias79,

Unfortunately, through the Strategy Builder this would not be possible as the Strategy Builder is limited in capability.

In an unlocked script, you could either:

Add a button to the UserControlCollection (or window WPF) and have the user click the button to submit an order through the strategy. Then you could exit the position using logic (when the indicator crosses the price).

Below is a link to the ChartOrderButtonsStrategyExample example of placing orders through a button click.

OR

Use the addon approach with an indicator to identify when a manual order has been submitted to an Account, and then submit an order through the account to close the position with logic.

The ProfitCaseStopTrailIndicatorExample has logic demonstrating detecting an order to placed to an Account using the addon approach.
