Hi
You can't do that. All you know is open/high/low/close. You don't know what happened in between.
Consider these two scenarios:
Open, gentle steady decline in price down to -2%.
Open, next trade after the open is a 2% drop.
Now, would you still want both an initial buy and a scale in for both scenarios? How would you know if half the position was bought at -1% and the other half at -2% (first scenario) vs. all bought at -2% (second scenario).
If you want intraday trades, you need intraday data.

XYZ starts the day at $10 and I want to buy if it loses 1% and scalein to double to position if it loses another 1%. Is there a way to code for that to occur on the same bar assuming XYZ traded below $9.80 on the bar in question? I know how to do it with Scalein when it occurs on seperate bars?
