Hello, I have a question that is best exhibited by giving you a scenario. I have a spreadsheet study for trading. The entry and the attached orders are based on bar close. For a short trade, the stop offset is the upper bollinger band minus the last price. I have this set for the formula in J81 (Attached Order Stop Offset). The question is about what row I should be referencing. If I want the offset to be based on a calculation from the same bar as the entry signal AND considering the signal is end of bar; then does that mean I actually need to do the formula based on row 4? I think that might be the case because according to the documentation, the entry for a end of bar signal is actually looking at row 4, not row 3. |

You could use row 4 and your understanding is correct about this, but Sierra Chart will always fill orders using the latest trade price.

For close of bar signals in columns K-Z...BR: If Signal Only On Bar Close is set to No, reference row 4. If Signal Only On Bar Close is set to Yes, reference row 3. For close of bar signals, formulas in column J must always reference row 4, regardless of the above setting. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-07-11 01:43:07
