Is it possible to specify the exact price I would like a limit order to be placed?

IE. I want to buy if a bar closes above a certain moving average. But I don't want to buy at that position the bar closes.
Instead, I want to buy... 20 ticks above the moving average (if for instance we closed 60 ticks above the MA).
Could I tell the SS that - if (the criteria is met), then 1, else 0... then execute a 'buy entry' @ specific price?
