Re: Anchoring a barnumber

[heypeter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hey Thomo

This is how I do it . . .

Vars: Position(0), InitialBar(0);

{assume buy condition met and you go long on the current bar}

Position = MarketPosition;
If Position = 1 then begin
	If Position[1] <> 1 then InitialBar = Barnumber;
	{insert your own code here eg exits}
end;

Later
