    Can somebody help

    Basically what I want to do is this simple condition

    1) Let say I want to buy a pair of spot forex.
    Eur.usd and usd.gbp when I start the excel.
    2) Exit when there is a profit of $50 or more
    3) Rebuy the same pair after I exit

    anybody can help on this?? or share some idea on how I can do it. The excel file seem more complex than i expected
