Hello,
I am having an issue automating my indicator which prints up/down arrow based on several other studies.
What study should i use?
The stoploss and take profit is fixed.

You could use the Trading System Based On Alert Condition study.
You'll need two instances, one for Buy one for Sell.
Trading System Based on Alert Condition

For the Target and Stop, create a Trade Window config, and check 'Use Attached Orders' on the Trade Window.
Attached Orders

You could also use the Spreadsheet System for Trading study.

I used it and used a point on high/low to show whether the conditions are working or not and it does show that which means the conditions on trading systems based on alerts study is working. But it is not putting any orders in.

Trade >> Auto Trading Enabled - Global
and
Trade >> Auto Trading Enabled - Chart
must both be checked

Also:
- With 'Trade >> Simulation Mode On' checked, 'Send Trade Orders to Trade Service' must be set to No.
- With 'Send Trade Orders to Trade Service' set to Yes, 'Trade >> Simulation Mode On' must be unchecked.

Hi, thank you it worked. I am backtesting now, would it be possible to export the trades that the system takes?

The Trade Activity Log has an Export function.
Also, you can copy/paste highlighted portions of the log.
