Hello, When using the Spreadsheet System for Trade study, do I need to use the Trade Window at all? Or, asked in another way, can I configure all trade management setting in the Spreadsheet? For example, using only the Spreadsheet, can I configure multiple Targets and multiple Stop configurations, such as, moving stop to BE or as trailing stop? Thanks, Tom |

You do not have to keep the Trade Window open but you do need to set some settings like the Time in Force for the orders. You can only configure a single Target and Stop through a Spreadsheet. More advanced configurations require the Targets tab of the Trade Window.

Can I have stops configured in the Trade Window and also in the Spreadsheet (L3,N3)? Or, do I need to use only one or the other?
