Hello, I am trying to place stop and target orders along with the entry order using spreadsheet system for trading. The cells J80 and J81 are filled based on a formula. I have cells J23 and J25 as blank. Also, columns L and N are blank as shown in the pictures. “Use Attached Orders” is checked in the trade window, also the trade window is populating Target and Stop from the spreadsheet as shown in the pictures. But the orders are not being placed. The error message reads “Attached Order #1 requires stop offset”. If I uncheck “Use Attached Orders”, only the parent order is being placed. Could you please let me know how I can correct this. I need to place the entry, stop and target orders at the specified prices in the Spreadsheet system for trading. Thanks and Regards,

Cells J80 and J81 are offsets from the entry price (in points not ticks). These should not be actual price values. Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Attached Order Target Offset (write only) [J80] If you need a target and stop at specific prices, even with entry slippage, you'll need to use the Trade Management by Study study, referencing a value in a Formula Column's row 3. Attached Orders: Study Controlled Targets and Stops
