TradeStation Help
Use the Forex - Triggers dialog to specify the type of tick, number, and pattern of ticks that will trigger the stop or if touched condition. Bid/Ask and Ask/Bid triggers use the order type (Buy/Cover or Sell/Short) to determine which type of tick to compare. Double tick refers to two consecutive ticks, and Twice refers to two non-consecutive ticks in the same day.
Access using the menu bar File > Preferences > TradeStation Order Entry and select Forex > Triggers.
