Hi Merry is there a way to take a strategy and turn it into an real buy conditional order under “Study” in the conditional setting? I noticed you can use strategies with P/L floating, but for conditional orders only studies are available for a buy order not the strategy. Is there an easy way to convert a strategy to use as a study for a real conditional order?

ToS does not make the floating P/L data available in the conditional order screen :(
