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.
