Hello, I was wondering if a user could provide coding assistance for using the spreadsheet trading system to automate my exit strategy. I am currently using a custom .dll to autotrade my entries, but I am interested in automating the exit as well. Essentially I want the .dll to enter me into a trade and then for the spreadsheet system to flatten my position when the slope of the 8 period zero lag EMA goes against my position for 2 consecutive bars (calculated on bar close). I am using a 2-1-1 Flex Renko periodicity with the option New Trend Bar When Range Exceeded - New Reversal Bar When Reversal Amount Plus 1 Tick and References Prior Close (not sure if this is relevant but wanted to be thorough). Due to the Flex Renko periodicity I use, a change in the zero lag slope for 2 bars essentially means 2 bar closes in the opposite direction of my position (so the zero lag EMA may not be relevant as you could just code for the position to flatten with 2 bar closes against my position's direction). As an example of what I am looking for, my .dll will enter me into a long position and price moves in my favor 6 bars and then pulls back for 2 bars. Once the 2nd bar closes lower I want the position to flatten on close of that bar. Can anybody suggest the proper coding syntax to use with the spreadsheet trading system for exits?
