I thought it must be possible to setup ordercofiguration within the spreadsheet for trading.

So far I defined long & short entry, but I have hard timmes defining the exit points, so I wonder how I can setup serverside controlled trailing stop in tthe spreadsheet for trading?

1. Create a Trade Window config with a target and stop, and check Use Attached Orders.
2. On the spreadsheet, set the target and stop offsets in cells J80 and J81. You can use a formula or a static value. You can put user options in column H and reference them from these cells. These offsets are in points, not ticks.
3. In two Formula Columns, use a formula in each to return your custom Long and Short trailing stop prices, then reference these with 2 instances of the Trade Management by Study study.

Hope someone can help me with this, I've read thru the documentation on their website but still can't seem to figure it out.

I know how to setup an OCO when using the attached orders, but what if you have a position already without any orders, and you want to setup an OCO around it, I figure that must be possible right?

Really appreciate it if someone can take the time to describe how it can be done.

thanks!
