Hey Sierra. I am revisiting automated trading using spreadsheets. I would like to place a limit order at a specified price, somewhat far away from the NBBO, when my order entry signal triggers. This way, my entry will be ready when the price shows up, and not after. Is this possible yet? |

Hey Sierra people. I'm wondering about pushing sierra as far as possible. I would like to set my Long Order Entry, as a moving average. So, when we go below Below a certain moving average, a long entry order is created at a different, lower (longer) moving average. As time continues though, that lower moving average will change. It may continue higher, ABOVE the already created long entry. So, I tried to code, cancel the unfilled long entry, if the moving average exceeds X points above or below the current open order (j48). Unfortunately, the Order Cancellation can take, a very long time to execute. Is there a way to cancel an open order and place a new order as soon as a new bar appears?? (To keep the open order up to date with the position of the moving average) Thanks for your time and help, I hope your week goes well. -Ben |

We've made a software on top of SC that does exactly this, among other things. Entry price is set to your choice of moving average, and it updates every bar ( old order is canceled, new one placed on average line ) We can also do cancel if price moves so far away, cancel if order doesn't fil for x number of bars etc etc. Check us out if you are into backtesting and auto-trading. We are currently looking for a few beta-testers. Gotta warn you though, no spreadsheets. EASY Automated Back-testing. We are licensing the software for $0 for limited time. |
