What I want would not need intraday data. The way I would want ti code with OHLC is something like this:
limitprice1 = (ref(c,-1)*0.99);
limitprice2 = (ref(c,-1)*0.98);
buyprice1 = min(O,limitprice1);
buyprice2 = min(O,limitprice2);
Buy would occur if L < limitprice1.
Scalein would occur if L <limitprice2.
If the low is less than the limitprice1, I would enter the position. If the low is less than the limitprice2, then I would scalein. If the open is below both prices then I would enter a double position at the price of the open.
I already have this coded to work on seperate bars, but many times, the pullback occurs on the same bar and I would like to backtest that occuring on the day of the initial purchase.
So, the question is, is there some kind of CBT coding that would allow me to test what I want to test.
Thanks,
John

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?
