Hope someone can help me here, it seams pretty simple?! I use 12 tick rangebars, would like to place a buy stop 13 ticks above the current candles low. The current candle is still forming ie not closed. I realise of course that I can count the ticks and place stop orders but that is too slow sometimes and tedious and would rahter do this visually (place a buystop 13ticks above the low by choosing the low of the bar) or have a buy/sell button for it. Anyone know how to do this (not with ASCIL please) Thank you :-) |

Try this: Add the Spreadsheet Formula study. -Use this formula: =L+TICKSIZE*13 -Set 'Number of Bars to Calculate to 1 -On the Subgraphs tab, set the Draw Style to Dash. |

Thank you so much Tom, Although trying not to use spreadsheets because its a manual entry, when I see my signal bar I would like to enter on the close of it. Spreadsheet trading would be hard to enable and disable in time as I filter some signals on discretion. The trading system by alert condition comes close if I could enable/disable it with a ACS button?! I was hoping there is a entry type that I missed that would serve a purpose. Like a stop order with an offset of 13 ticks. |

The Spreadsheet Formula study is not a spreadsheet study. Just try it. It will do what you want. |

You could also use the Range Bar Predictor study and place the order 1 tick above its upper mark.
