Is it possible to make an non-market order type for ACSIL automated trading?

I'm trying to automate some of my trading. I want to be able to put a price, then trail a number of ticks above or below that price to execute under certain conditions. An example for buying would be: the market trails 9 ticks above the price I gave and then at some point the Ask volume is exactly zero and the bid volume is above zero. Here I will wait for the price to go down a few ticks, all the while the price being above the initial input price, to then buy at the given tick/price.

I want to automate this but I am not sure how to go about it. thi si a learning project where I want to learn ACSIL. If I wasn't clear enough in my post here, please be patient as I trying to make myself clearer. Tank you.

Yes this is certainly possible. Based on your conditions you just submit a nonmarket order at that time. Here is the documentation for performing trading from ACSIL:
