Post From: price targets with spreadsheet trading

When you use the "use attached orders" option while autotrading from a spreadsheet, does this override the buy and sell signals in your spreadsheet formulas ? example: when backtesting without the "use attached orders" , buy and sell signals fire on a macd crossover. When I run the same strategy with "use attached orders", it seems that the price target nullifies the cross signal. The position wont change until the target is hit, even if a crossover signal occurs. Is this expected behavior ? Also, If I want just a stop loss in place, when I use "attached orders" with only a stop loss selected, no signals fire at all. Is this expected also ? How can you add just a stop loss when trading from spreadsheet ? thanks regards |
