View Count: 781

Hello,

i use the value in the J81 Cell for a Trailling Stop. The Value is recaculated new at every entry and most of all different to the previous entry. So at the same moment i entered a position, my value in J81 change form 0 to the new value. But this will be to late for my actual trailling stop. The stop offset in my Trade Window is not this Value, i need for my actually entry.

How much time did it take to write the J81 Value to the Trade Window?

Maybe i can solve this problem by another way.

Thanks,
Thomas

J81 needs to contain the offset value before an entry occurs.

If the offset is unknown until after the entry, you instead could use the Trade Management by Study study, referencing a subgraph/Formula Column.

Hi,

thanks for your very nice tip!

But i think its time to do my studies by Visual Basic.


Thanks,
