Post From: Request for Feature Improvement - Custom Trading Command - Offset from Reference Price

Hello,

I'd like to request a small feature improvement. For reference, I'll explain the example below.

In the Custom Trading Commands, there is an option to select an Offset from Reference Price.

I'm using a Limit Chase order, with let's say a -80 offset from the reference price. The reference price being used is the Last. So, if Price is at 4120, this let's me place an order at 4100, and chase it.

Now, functionally, it's perfect as is, and allows me to manage the order quantity, stop + trail and profit brackets from the trade window, exactly what I want! However, I need to be able to select larger, custom chosen offset ticks, beyond the range of 100 that is offered.

My Request is this: Rather than a pre-defined range from -100 tick offset to +100, allow me to enter a custom integer number. So I can do -800, or +1400, if that is suitable for me. Particularly for higher timeframes, this is necessary.

Alternatively, I tried to create a spreadsheet, and custom code script, but did not have any luck. My chatgpt made script had critical cpu exceptions. And the spreadsheet guidance on gpt is also lacking / incorrect. Lastly, all of that complexity, is unnecessary, as this function works natively. The range simply needs to be unlocked so I can enter larger offset ticks.

This is the primary reason I switched back to Sierra Chart, for this convenient and natively functioning setup. Please change this so it's no longer limited to only a 100 tick +- range, and let the user enter in their own desired offset value.


Lastly, if at all, it isn't possible to leave it as an open, user enterable integer amount, then extend the range up, from -2000 to +2000. That way, there is plenty of flexibility for various use cases.
