These entry orders are placed as OCO's. When one gets filled, the other will get canceled.
SC Trade Window definitions are used for setting attached orders for the exits.

Automated Entry vs. Manual Now (Enter Now)

There are two ways in which entry orders can be placed:

Automated - User sets an "Entry Signal Reference". When the signal fires, orders will be placed. The bot must be enabled

Manual - At any time, users can press the Enter Now button. This will cause orders to be placed at the long and short reference prices (same as if there was a signal)

Enable button - this button is used to switch automated entries on/off. when green and reads "Enabled", automated entries are turned on. When gray and reads "Disabled", automated entries are disabled and signals will be ignored

Entry Offset

Users set the entry prices by setting the long and short price references. 

Entry Offset (in ticks) can be used to add another offset to the reference. This is convenient for example to create an entry level that is X ticks above the high, x ticks below the low.

Entry price calculations

long_entry_ price = long_reference_price + offset

short_entry_price = short_reference_price - offset

So with a positive offset value, the entry price is moved further away

Users can also set the offset to a negative value in which case the entry price is moved closer so to speak
