Post From: OCO - Stop:Stop - Offset: 5 Percent

I am using a Spreadsheet System for Trading for Sell Entry and the Attached Trade Window (OCO) for Sell Exit, but the offset is Exiting at 5% positive instead of 5% negative. For example, the short Entry Price is $1.00, but the Exit Price is $1.05.
This makes sense when using a Stop for a Short/Sell Entry.

Seems like you want to use a Target instead.

If there any issues with the calculation of prices, it would have to relate to the bid, ask and last trade prices at the time of the order submission. There is not going to be anything wrong otherwise.
