I am not sure if I correctly understand your request, but you could use a limit order and specify a limit price. However this doesn't guarantee you a fill of course.
you can't change the value for this reserved word, it only returns a value i.e. the EntryPrice of your current position.
By the way, you can show your appreciation for pots on futures.io by clicking the "Thanks" button next to it.
ONBlimitvalue=High+4 points; {Replace with your own point values}
ONBstopvalue=High+2 points; {Replace with your own point values}
ONBlimit= Open of next Bar >= ONBlimitvalue;
ONBstop= Open of next Bar<= ONBstopvlaue;
ONBlimit2= Open of next Bar <= ONBlimitvalue;
ONBstop2= Open of next Bar>= ONBstopvlaue;
If ONBlimit then buy next bar at ONBlimitvalue limit
else If ONBstop then buy next bar at ONBstopvlaue stop
else if ONBlimit2 and ONBstop2 then buy next bar at market;

You can always reference a price point as a variable and add or subtract from it for a limit or stop order. It's just a matter of which side you are trying to be on, and, if you're trying to submit the order in advance of a bar close referencing the next bar close or price level reach, or at bar close with market level reached.
My point is i want to submit stop limit order instead of stop order. As I understand Tradestation 2000i only can submit stop or limit order. In order to submit stop limit order, we need to write a simple coding.
My other intention is, when i put stop order i always want to be certain point triggered a head. Ex: If my order is Buy Stop at 1500, I always need my strategy triggered my order at 1498 ( 2 points a head ) but triggered price need to be set at 1500. This is to protect some slippage issue when i proceed the back test.
if I recall correctly TS 2000i doesn't have intrabar order generation, so you could only issue your limit order at the end of the bar that triggered your "stop condition". I am not sure how many setups you'd miss that way, simply because price already moved away from you. As you work with 2000i, you might want to take a look at Multicharts, as it will feel quite familiar plus gives you stop limit orders natively.
