Sorry I meant to reference post #6 In post #8 I meant, set the limit price by referencing the Open Price(column B3) and offsetting it by adding or subtracting the desired amount. For example going long on the /ES and setting the limit price two ticks bellow the open price the formula would be =B3 - .50 By tick value I mean rather than .50(actual price value) use a value of 2( for /ES example), just as you would on the Trade Window and the DOM when offsetting targets, trails, stops, chase offsets, or the Draw Style Percentage/Tick Offset parameter in the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition Study. But I think this answers my question: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SpreadsheetSystemsAlertsAndAutomatedTrading.php#AttachedOrderTargetOffset In particular this bit, which is probably the case throughout when using spreadsheets: "The Offset is relative to the parent order price. This Offset needs to be specified as an actual price value." I literally just started using SC, which coming from using Thinkorswim, I think Sierra Chart is fantastic. Anyways, given that using tick values seems not possible on spreadsheets, I was just wondering if you could with ACSIL? in TOS there's a function called tickvalue() for instance, I figure ACSIL must have something similar. I'm actually trying to find an ACSIL function reference right now. Thanks
