Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to get a better entry within an automated/spreadsheet strategy. For example rather than take a buy market order at bar close(when conditions are met) I'd like to buy two ticks below the bar close.

The price will be different for each trade, is there a way to set a limit order at -2 ticks(ES) from the bar close for a long? Or 5 ticks from low of entry bar for a long?

You have to write a formula in the limit price cell to calculate this price. So you can do what you require.
