When filled enter Stop

[bylld4]

Feeling particularly uneducated. I use EOD data only. I cannot find a simple If Filled entry to set an initial stop. Is this not possible without a full script?

Hello bylld4,

Thanks for writing in.

Can you offer me some more detail so I can better assist you moving forward?

Would you like to know how to attach an ATM strategy to an order so that when it fills the ATM strategy is activated? You can set up an ATM strategy with only a stop loss order defined if you only want to submit a stop order.

I look forward to your reply.

So impressed with how fast y'all respond.

I simply wish to attach an "if filled" to a straight order. Thus, Buy Stop Limit 1xx June @ .2130 .2130 GTC; If Filled, enter Sell Stop Market 1 xx June @.2120 GTC

I realize format given here is incorrect; to show intent only.

Hello bylld4,

You can accomplish this by attaching an ATM strategy to your order, and only defining a stop loss to activate once the order is filled. By default, stop loss orders are market orders when using ATM strategies.

You have options of using tick parameters or price parameters if you want to place the stop loss order at a specific price.

Once you create the ATM strategy, ensure that it is selected in the drop down list before submitting your order to ensure that it attaches to your order.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

Thank you, Alan. And this will work based on the fill. I am just dealing with ATM now, but would I select "tick" as the strategy when all I have is EOD data?

Hello bylld4,

Thanks for your reply.

The parameter type determines what is used in order to place your stop order.

If you use ticks, then the order is placed X amount of ticks away from your average entry price.

If you use price, the order is not based on the average entry and is placed at the literal price you specify for the stop loss order.

You can find more information on the different parameter types here:
