Set Trade Window Limit Price to Track Value Of a Study

Hello Support,

In the Trade Window, when setting the order type to "Limit", there's a field to set the price for the limit below that. Is there a way to have that limit price follow a value from another study instead of manually type it in each time? If a custom study is needed, what's the function or functions that we could use to access and set that field?

Thanks.

There is not a way to do this from the Trade Window.

You could do this using the "Spreadsheet System for Trading", which allows you to specify a Limit order as the Parent order and then you can set the Limit price based on another study. Refer to the following:

I see. Thank you for the information. If it's not too hard to implement, could SC add this feature within the next few updates?

We cannot say how hard this would be to put on the Trade Window, but the reality is that we are reworking that window. So this is something that we will not even look into until that rework is done or being done. So this is not something that will happen in the near future. And in general, we can not say when we would get to any particular request.
