Auto Trade Entry Question

Is there a way to send limit orders based on an alert condition but with an predetermined offset tick value. Lets say I get a buy signal on my autotrade system but instead of sending the attached order at the current price, it will send it with an offset of 4 ticks below the market to be executed only if a pullback occurs. Can you direct me to the proper documentation?

We apologize for the delay. If you want to actually put in a Limit order at a particular price for the entry order, requires that you use the Spreadsheet System for Trading study instead:
