Hi Sierra Eng can you please tell me if there's in the trading window orders type the possibility to do this:
I'm using Trading System alert from sierra and sending order at Market condition right now and everything works fine, but I would like to send the order to the market when the alert become active, but not at market price, but at let me say 4 ticks plus the price at the alert activation for short and viceversa minus 4 ticks for long entry.
I look into the type of orders and I found the possibility to trigger or trail the price for hte stops not for the entry order type.
Thx
Alberto

Ok so it is confirmed that ther's no selectable otpion on the TW and that you do not have a plan to introduce it. Well if it works on spreadsheet it means it is also possible via C++ that at this point it is safer ans faster.
Thx
