1. Not directly. But you can get this by adding the "Spreadsheet System for Trading" study to a chart and then using the J column cell for "Last Entry Trade Date Time", which gives you the date and time of the opening of your most recent position. You can then calculate out the amount of time passed using the "NOW()" function and subtracting the J column value. Refer to the following: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SpreadsheetFunctions.html#NOW_Function The only way to do a "Move to Breakeven" after a certain amount of time has passed would be to use the Spreadsheet System for Trading as specified above and have it output a line at the level of the Stop and then have that line value change to where you want the Stop to move after a certain amount of time. You would then use the "Trade Management by Study" study to move the Stop to that line position. Refer to the following: Attached Orders: Study Controlled Targets and Stops 2. If you use the "Move to Breakeven" button or options, then it will use the average of the current position, which would be after you have scaled in. But if you use the above method, it can be any value you want it to be. 3.
