Hello,

When using the Spreadsheet System for Trade study, do I need to use the Trade Window at all? Or, asked in another way, can I configure all trade management setting in the Spreadsheet?

For example, using only the Spreadsheet, can I configure multiple Targets and multiple Stop configurations, such as, moving stop to BE or as trailing stop?


Thanks,
Tom

You do not have to keep the Trade Window open but you do need to set some settings like the Time in Force for the orders. You can only configure a single Target and Stop through a Spreadsheet. More advanced configurations require the Targets tab of the Trade Window.

Can I have stops configured in the Trade Window and also in the Spreadsheet (L3,N3)? Or, do I need to use only one or the other?
