I’m not even sure if this is where I’m supposed to post this, so please forgive, in advance.
Here’s an example of what I’m wanting. When looking for long entries, I make a determination a closed candle has just met my signal criteria. I want to manually “engage” a script of some kind that does the following: execute an MIT order 1 tick beyond the high of the last candle, BUT only after current price touches a level 12 ticks beyond the high of the last candle. This allows me to get into a trade only when the current bar jumps out 12 ticks, but comes back to 1 tick above the high of the last candle.
I’m doing this manually now and it’s obviously not precise as I’m doing it by sight in real time. It’s difficult and clumsy. I don’t know whether to create a button somewhere that runs a C# script or use strategy builder and only turn on that strategy when I see the proper set up occur. I’ve never used a strategy or strategy builder before so I’m not sure if any of this is even possible.
Any insight, direction, or advice would be greatly appreciated…
