I created a custom trade type in the trade window. In the trade window, if i set it to limit, and enter the limit price, it will create a limit order of my custom trade type. Perfect. What i would like to do is be able to add my custom trade type through the chart, so i wouldn't have to manually enter the limit price (and possibly make a mistake). I know how to customize the trade menu items, bu tididn't see a way to add custom types. is this possible? even through ascil? thanks

I must not be explaining it correctly. Im referring to the functionality under the "targets" tab. I would like that same behavior applied through the menu, where the cursor of the mouse would automatically set the limit price for the custom rules created under targets

Yes this is fully supported. You just want to enter an order from a chart to set the price and also have Attached Orders attached. This is fully documented here:
