Post From: J80 attached order for spreadsheet ?

I have a buy on macd crossover and sell on macd crossover with reversal allowed. I take 2-3 signals between 10 am and 4 pm est on the russell. This generates good results for me , but I would like to add a stop to it. When I add a stop with "use attached orders", then after an entry, the next reversal signal wont trigger until the attached order triggers. e.g. I have a 50 tick stop and 100 tick profit set through attached orders. After moving +40 ticks, the macd crosses down, but the sell entry signal is ignored due to the attached order. I would like to reverse short in this situation. If I use exit signal, then I am out, but I am not reversed and short. I an sure it is simple, but I cant seem to figure it out. If the attached orders are cancelled on entry, then my stop is nullified. Perhaps it cant be done with a spreadsheet. Did I explain that ok ? regards
