I know that you can use "Trade Management by Study" to move your stops and targets, but is there a way to move a stop automatically to, say, the low or high of the previous candle and NOT move it again? Trade Management by Study doesn't seem to be able to just do it once, it will move the stop on each bar. This seems to be something simple to do, but I'm scratching my head over this one. What am I missing? |

The easiest thing is to turn off the Trade Management by Study once it has moved the Stop. Otherwise, you would have to modify the code for the study and keep track of whether it has made a move and then disable the study once it has.

Thanks for the reply, but this is an automated system, I can't turn off the study. I guess I'll have to modify the study code. Thanks!

If you are using the Spreadsheet System for Trading study, the Trade Management by Study study can follow any subgraph/column value, so you could returns the H/L of the previous candle with a formula.

Hi, Tom! True, but how would you prevent the stop from moving from candle to candle?

You can get the source code for that study which is provided and modify it to meet your requirements.

Make the event persistent that triggered the move of the stoploss.If you want to move the stop to the H/L of the signal bar, try a formula like this, e.g. in cell O3: =IF(K3,D3,IF(M3,C3,O4)) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-02-28 14:19:40
