Hello,
As coding an autotrader with very specific rules requires quiet a few coding skills is there a way to manually execute this task by:

Specifying manually the entry with a marker and set either a trailing stop or a manual exit and have those trades be added and evaluated automatically in a sheet?

Thanks

You can certainly manually enter an order with Attached Orders. It has to be an actual order but you can use Trade Simulation Mode.

And then you can evaluate that trade and other trades through the Trade Activity Log:

I am not sure to understand it. The goal is to take any existing chart and to add the "fake" entries/exits on that same chart just to backtest the entries based on specific rules. It has to be done under a simulated mode.
