I am sure this is a simple question but I am not finding a solution myself. I have an auto trade system that I would like to apply a stop loss. It can be dollar value or point value. I would prefer point I suppose. I have tried using J10 but the references keep getting screwed up. I have not found a study that would track trade profit/loss. (only day profit/loss) Any suggestions on applying a stop loss?

Thanks.

That's a nice option and I will likely implement it soon. Will it show up as a stopped out trade in back testing, or will the back testing only use the formulas in the spreadsheet.

Attached Orders do work during back testing as well.
