I'm using auto trading with spreadsheet. I wish to have the position reversed at a set point loss, then let the next buy/sell signal open new position. Also will I still be able to backtest?

I may not have explained my question well. I have read the material suggested but I don't see a way of having a reverse buy/sell signal generated after being stopped out of a position. I can do it manually by doubling the shares in the stop order after I'm in a position, but when I try and enter double shares in the attached stop order I get "Target/Stops No Match". Is there a way of disabling the "Target/Stops No Match", or some other method that would achieve the same result?

Maybe try something like =and(condition 1 is true, $J$5=0, $J$7<0) for buy. Condition 1 is optional.

If you want to use the Support Reversals feature of the Spreadsheet System for Trading study, then you need to handle the Stops within the spreadsheet itself.

And not use Attached Orders. So you would only be using using the Buy Entry and Sell Entry cells.

Actually, what we said in post #5 is not really correct. You still can use Attached Orders as long as you have set:
