Set the buy or sell price

In the simulator, how do I set the price that I want the position to exit at? For example if a stop gets hit, how do I specify the price that the stock was exited at?

Update the sell or the cover order type.
Example:
Sell using limit order at the price of <rule>

However, if a stock is exited after it hit a stop, the simulator uses a market-on-open order. We will change the logic so it uses the settings defined in the "Sell" or "Cover" order type.

Is there a way to set a price for every rule? Or can you just set one price that all the rules have to use?

Best Answer

What you can do is add a condition in the limit order price.
Example:
Sell using limit order at the price of: iff( rule , limit price 1, limit price 2)
