I've been having a tough time trying to code a buy stop that references the
open of the bar to trade. In other words, I'd like to (If condition1[1] then)
buy open + x points stop; Is this possible? Data is EOD.
I've also notice that I get two very different results when I omit the word
"points" from my buy order. The two versions of the code are as follows:
1) If MarketPosition = 0 then Begin
DaysLong = 0;
Val2 = Open + 5;
Buy Val2 Stop;
End;
2) If MarketPosition = 0 then Begin
DaysLong = 0;
Val2 = Open + 5;
Buy Val2 points Stop;
End;
I'm sure I'm overlooking the obvious, but I thought that the two codes would
work the same. Why don't they?
I've spent too many hours trying to decipher where the problem is, reading
print statements and such, so any fresh perspective will be very welcome.
Many thanks,
Dan Poiree
