Post From: Trading System Based on Alert Condition - Only Scale in if Existing Position is in Profit

You would have to add the profit amount to the Alert Condition. There are a few ways to go about this, but since you specify that you are wanting to be in profit by "'x' amount of pips", we suggest adding the "Trading: Position Average Price" to the chart. Then your Alert Condition would need to add the following to it:
C > ID1.SG1 + .02

Where C is the Close/Last price, and ID1 is the ID of the "Trading: Position Average Price". You would have to change the value of .02 to whatever number of pips you need based on the particular instrument.
