Imagine the following scenario:

I'm long 1 contract
Take profit is set at 10 points
Market retraces and hits a buy limit order, increasing the position size to 2 contracts net
New average entry price is updated (lower than the first)

I want to have my take profit remain at 10 points from my average entry point, instead of remaining where it was initially set.

Example:
Buy 1 contract @ 13000: Take profit 13010
Buy 1 contract @ 12990: Average entry price = 12995. Take profit should auto-update to 13005.

Currently Take profit is still at 13010.

I can't find anything in the forums.

Move the Target with the Trade Management by Study study
that references the Spreadsheet Formula study's formula output
that references the Trading: Position Average Price study, and the
Trading: Position Quantity study.

Use a formula like this in the Spreadsheet Formula study's Formula field:
=IF(AND(ID3.SG1<>0,ID4.SG1>0),ID3.SG1+10,IF(AND(ID3.SG1<>0,ID4.SG1<0),ID3.SG1-10,0))
where ID3 is the Trading: Position Average Price study, and ID4 is the Trading: Position Quantity study.
