I am using Renko bars in Ninja Trader 7. Is possible to write code that will, based on a signal from my indicator, have a stop limit order entered at the current bar close plus x tics over or under depending if I want a long or short entry? My objective is to only enter positions on the bar after the signal if the price continues in the direction of the trade. Thanks in Advance.

      double lastRenkoClose = Closes[0][0];  // primary dataserie last bar close
      double lastRenkoOpen = Opens[0][0];
      if (lastRenkoClose > lastRenkoOpen) {  // up bar
         if (Close[0] >= lastRenkoClose + OpenRangeTicks * TickSize) {  // check open long 
            // open long
         }
      } else {  // down bar
        if (Close[0] <= lastRenkoClose - OpenRangeTicks * TickSize) {  // check open short 
            // open short
         }
      } // else
   }
}
