Hi! I've been now trying to figure out this by going through settings and support board, without coming across with an solution. So let's try with a new support request. Ultimately I'm trying to set up an automated Spreadsheet strategy, using "Spreadsheet System for Trading". A strategy where entry will be sent as market order, through "Entry"-columns. Open position will then be followed by placement of Stop-limit order for full quantity of the position and three limit orders for targets, each with one 3rd of the position size. Limit orders for targets and Stop-limit order will be executed through "Exit"-columns. How do I get the quantity of the Stop-limit order to be updated as targets get hit one by one? IE if the original position size is 9 and each target (limit orders) are size of 3, the stop should be reduced to 6 when first target hit and so on. And surely all the remaining limit orders should be cancelled when ever the stop hits. I don't want to pre-determine these orders through trade window settings as I need to be able to control the price levels for each order (Limit-stop and 3 separate limit targets) through Spreadsheet calculations. So I would be using order types "SL" and "L" at Spreadsheet, which I believe are equal to manually executing Buy/Sell Stop-limit and Buy/Sell Limit, respectively. So how can I get these OCO or attached orders created using SL and L -orders without setting it up at the trade window Targets-tab? Alternative approach would be if there is a way to control trade window settings through spreadsheet (stop and target distances, not just picking up pre-determined presets). Much appreciated if some one can help me solve this, to be able continue with my project. |
