I have a Trading Spreadsheet with Automated Buy/Sell entries working. Currently I am using a simple Market order to execute the trade entry with the automation.

I would like to have the trade price entry set with an offset from the Bid/Ask.
Example: Trade signal fires on Sell, Mkt order hits the Bid. I want the automated Order Entry to be 2 ticks above the Bid.

How do I accomplish that?

Thank you.

I think I found it under Special Spreadsheet Trading Inputs on the Spreadsheet.

Will see if this takes care of it, it should.

Thank you
