New to SC, couple questions. Would be using SS for Trading.

Is it possible to limit the number of trades per symbol?

Thx Steve

I see that you can limit by time range. Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Limiting Trading to Certain Time Ranges

Can I create a formula to say limit a symbol to 1 trade per day?

The quantity is set through this Sheet Cell:

Also is it possible to set the time I want to start trading without using "trading locked" method?

Thx. Can I limit the amount of trades I want to take per symbol. Say I want to only take 1 trade on AAPL not dependent on time-frame.

Can order quantity (J26) be also used to trade using a fixed dollar amount. Say I want to only trade using $1000.00 allotments?

You would have to therefore calculate with a formula the order quantity according to your needs.
