Offsetting entry?

Is it possible for my entry limit order to be offset by a set amount off what I enter? I'm asking because I decide my stop value before I choose where I want to enter but I can't always do the math quick enough in my head to figure out where I need to enter. Is it possible to place a limit order at my stop but SC offsets the entry by 10 points (my risk amount)? For example, I want to place a sell order. I know I want my stop to be at 6500, meaning I want to come in at 6490 or higher to enter. Can I tell SC to place a limit order at 6500 (my stop) but it offsets the limit order by 10 points to 6490? Thank you |

Update for anyone who might be referring to this in the future: The Buy-stop-limit and sell-stop-limit orders, although working the way I'd like in Sim-mode, were getting rejected, as described might happen in the documentation. I used the triggered-limit-auto set order type to get around this, as described in the documentation and those orders are going through the way I was hoping. Thanks |
