Something like this :)

protected override void OnTick()
{
    if (Symbol.Ask > targetPrice)
        OnTargetAttained();
}

private void OnTargetAttained()
{
    // Do something
}

Thanks Kate :)

I am more interested on custom event that will react on certain price attained oppose to comparing price on every tick that causes lots of CPU resources being used.

RE:

If you want to raise an event on a certain condition then there is no way it can be done without executing a condition clause. And since price changes at each tick, it should be done on each Tick. You can use a separate thread to do the calculations and to not block the rest of the robot, but it should be done on each tick.

comparing price on every tick is not going to use a lot of CPU resources.

Thanks for reply hichem. To my mind it sounds like standard event in Positions class like Positions.PriceAttained

RE:

Yes it can be added to the API but internally it wouldn't be different from executing a condition on each Tick
