Hey guys I would like to enter a trade by clicking the DOM, but instead of placing the entry level when I click, I would like to place the Stop Loss when clicking the DOM, and let the soft to place the entry and take profit levels from the stop level I gave it. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance. |

You would have to create a custom study to do this. Refer to the information here: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thanks for your response John. I believe that drawing a parallel line to the horizontal one in the crosshair to visualize where the Stop Loss is going to be placed it would help. Is there a way to add a parallel line to the existing crosshair in order to have a preview of where the SL level is going to be before we place the order, while we move the mouse? |

Is it possible to do it via a study?

It could be done by taking the Y position of the mouse and then updating data to draw a horizontal line at the position above/below where that Y position exists.

Well, it has a little delay, but it works. Here you go, the study. |
