Entry Modification in Strategy Builder

[Fran888]

Currently, I use a market entry/exit order in my strategies. I would like to modify the entry long to read: market order minus 5 ticks; short entry; market order plus 5 ticks. I tried using the limit price but couldn't make it work. Thanks.

Hello Fran888,

A sell limit order must be above the market price (above the current bid) and a buy limit order must be below the market (below the current ask).

If you want a working sell order below the market price, this will need to be a stop order, and if you want a working buy order above the market price, this will need to be stop order.

If you don't want the price to update on each bar, save the calculated price to a variable once, and then submit the order on each new bar using the variable.

Attached is a test script demonstrating.
