Heres a screenshot of what I have so far, but this doesn't work:

If this offers any clarification, I am trying to create instructions for the condition:

Value < CurrentBid < Value

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Loren

Try something like:

value < bid && value < value

Thank you sir, I realized that was a dumb question just after I posted it. But heres one thats hopefully not so dumb...

I am trying to set up a position management system that has the following:
x% Firm Stop
x% Trail Stop
x% Profit Target to dump half the position

Heres the way I have it set up:

The problem with this is that for some reason, trail stops are not triggering. Firm stops and profit targets are however.

The way only way I can find to dump half a position is to open two half positions at the start, hence the 4 order types.

Can anyone tell me why the trail stops arent triggering?

You can't set firm and trailing stops for the same order. You have to choose one. Also you can change "firm" stop's price by changing it inside the script, so it will become kind of "trailing"
