I was wondering if it is possible to code an indicator or other to manage my stop and/or target after entry...

After entry, if in profit **after 3 bars**, lock in 1 tick (move stop to break even + 1 tick). If at a loss **after 3 bars** move target to +1 tick.

If my stop is moved/changed, my original stop should be canceled.
If my target was moved/changed, my original target should be canceled.

***In short, If in profit by the 3rd bar lock profit, if at a loss by the 3rd bar, new target of 1 tick.***

I'm REALLY hoping this is possible.

Thanks

Thanks for the replay but it seems that I misworded my question. I revised my original post.

Something custom like this would require using the Spreadsheet System for Trading study:

Or using ACSIL:
