Post From: Are these automations possible with ACSIL?

I'm looking at ways I can enhance my manual trading with ACSIL, before trying for full automation. Are the following doable? If not, maybe a version of them? If yes, are they very hard for an ACSIL newbie to eventually program? 1) I enter an order manually, with attached stop and two targets. ACSIL will move the first target so it is at, for example, 1R (i.e. target in ticks = risk in ticks). If I then move the stop, the first target will be re-adjusted. But, if I then move the target manually, nothing will happen. 2) This site ( http://electroniclocal.blogspot.com/2014/11/order-flow-automated.html ) has an interesting take on semi-automation that I'd like to try: in essence, have a button (on the toolbar?) where if I manually press it, then ACSIL will start looking for available trading opportunities per its code. There could be a button for shorts, one for longs, or some other consideration. He states: "There are buttons on the top line that arm the algo so that when the conditions are met, the order is triggered. I can arm and disarm the algo with one click when I see a trade setting up. It only goes off if in fact the trade does setup." Thank you.
