We are still not sure of what exactly you are wanting to do. But here are some thoughts that we think can help.

If you are using the "Trading System Based on Alert Condition", and you have a condition already specified, but you want the entry to be 15 ticks above the point at which the alert condition occurs, then you would need to add the following to your Alert Condition:
+ TICKSIZE * 15

For example, if you an Alert Condition that is when the Last Price is greater than 4000, then your overall alert condition to enter an order when the price has reached 15 ticks above 4000 would be the following:
=C > 4000 + TICKSIZE * 15

If you are using another study, such as the "Color Background Based on Alert Condition", then you would want to make sure that the Color Background is giving you the value that you want when it is true. Otherwise, it may be easiest to reproduce that condition and add the "+ TICKSIZE * 15" to the condition in your "Trading System Based on Alert Condition".
