_Single StopOrLim En generates a Long or Short Entry order (Stop or Limit) for a number of shares specified in Quantity input, at a price point specified in TriggerPrice input and at a user-specified date and/or time.
The order will be placed when the bar with the matching date and/or time is plotted on the chart.
