Hello apache20,

There's another simpler scenario where I may want to use an order like this. Lets say I have .5 Bitcoin I bought a long time ago and plan to be holding for a long while, but the price zipped up really fast and I sell some at 12,200 with the intention of buying back in when it pulls back. After I sell, I'm watching the price continue to bleed out slowly to the downside but I don't plan to be glued to my screen for the next 20 hours and I want to just let it run and kind of see how low I can get it back. So, I want to set a buy order a little higher than what the price is now (say, 11,800) in case it breaks the downtrend and starts to reverse with strength, but still allowing it to have a chance to continue lower.

For this specific scenario of where you want to sell your BTC when the price reaches 12,200 and buy back at 11,800:
You can setup a Sell Take Profit order (Profit Price = 12,200) with a conditional close of Take Profit (Profit Price = 11,800).
This will ensure that the order to sell at(or above) 12,200 is filled as market order and sold at(or below) 11,800 as market order.

This is awesome, thank you!
