[Programming Help] - Trailing entries by study

Hello,
I use the trade management by study for my attached exit orders and it works great.
Is there something similar for entries? I looked a lot at the other studies and I may have missed it.
To be specific I do not want sierra to start the orders, like in a trading system, I want to put the order manually and then have sierra managing the entry level.
For example: I usually enter my long at the High of the previous bar +1 tick stop. If that level is not touched and the next bar has a lower high, I would like sierra to automatically adjust (trail) the open stop order the the new lower high + 1 tick.
Is there a way to do that?
Thank you
M

Look at the AutomatedTradeManagementBySubgraph.cpp.
I used that as an example to make something similar you are trying to do: trigger entry decision by condition or manually, after that entry is managed by SC study.
