Hello Support I am trying to create a spreadsheet auto trading system but the entry order is not the one specified by the formula and value that I have on J22. for example I am using the Gann hi-lo activator on AD and when this one indicates a turn (k3=1), I want a limit order indicated by j22 2 ticks above the previous reading (AD4+(2*$j$21)), it works great when the close is below AD4, so when price reaches the order, it buys the order, BUT, if price closed above the previous activator (AD4), let's say it closed 5 ticks above the previous activator, which is higher than the level (AD4+(2*$j$21)) it places the order at that last close level and I will prefer to be placed exactly 2 ticks above the previous reading and get activated if price comes back. going through the documentation I found this is worked around with buy triggered limit orders, how can they be applied to the spread sheet auto trading? or if there is another turn around or value/formula in another cell I am missing out, will you please tell me how to do it or point me in the right direction? |
