Hello,
since 4 days i'am looking for a simple formula, just as exemple for a project.

In the trading spreadsheet, I see that many fields are related to the charts, creating a close connection between this sheet and the chart.
My idea is to be able to enter a formula in the trading spreadsheet that defines a condition, and as soon as this condition is met, it triggers a trade in the chart.
For example: When the market reaches a price x, which I can enter as a variable in a field, a long-trade should be opened.
May I kindly ask you to provide me with such a formula concerning the variable field?
It would help me immensely. Thank you very much for your support.

The current market price is the Close/Last of the current bar, so your entry formula would be the following:
=E3 > 5000

Where E3 is the Last/Close price and 5000 is the price point you want to test against. Note that this only tests for a price going up and then above your value. You could reverse it to test above to below.
