Dear Support,

How can i add Target level and stoploss for my buy entry and sell entry thresholds separately?
Lets say if my system open a buy trade i like to use 5 pip target level and 6 pip stoploss.
But for my sell trades i like to use 30 pip target level and 10 pip stoploss.
Buy and SELL trades are market orders.
When the orders are opened the target level and stoploss need to set immediately.

How can i do that?

The only way to do this is to save two different Trade Window configurations each one with the different Attached Order configurations that you describe.

Here are instructions:

Great.

How can i link the 5 PIP stoploss and 15 pip TARGET LEVEL for my BUY ENTRY column?
I am using automated spreadsheet study, i am using replay chart because i am backtesting a system.

But i still dont understand how the DOM will link my take profit and stoploss to my buy entry or sell entry positions!

There is no special linking required.

Refer to:

If you do not want to manually change between different Trade Window configurations it is possible to specify a different Target and Stop offset through Sheet cells:
