I have taken the plunge and decided to download a Pre Off Rule from the forum that i am trying to alter to suit. The rule will run from 5 minutes out. I want the rule to only fire if there is the minimum volume i have set. Can i stop the rule from firing if the volume is not reached by 5 minutes out?

A volume condition will stop it triggering until its met

Or do you want it to NOT trigger at all if the volume hasn't got to '£X' when there is 5mins to go?

OK so you'll need to add a 'Set/Modify' signal rule armed at 00:05:01
and set a signal on the market (name it something like 'volume_target'

and add the volume condition to that rule

Then on you back/lay rules add a 'Signal Set Condition'
Is the Signal
for the market
named 'volume_target'
Set with a value

You'll need to post some screenshots of what you've done so

Yes those are spot on, its just the Signal set condition on the scalping rule you now need

No you've added another signal, that needs deleting

And add a Signal Set condition on the Conditions tab

Also just checking back, your signal rule needs to be armed
00:05:01 to 00:05:00

not 00:00:00

Yes that's right now

and yes you can delete the volume condition for this rule now, that's being checked by the signal rule now
