Re: Buy Stop

Consider using the MRO function (Most Recent Occurrence) which will lock
your condition to a X bars ago, where X unpdates with each passing bar.

Logic thus:

value1=MRO of condition

if high < high of value1 {i.e. we haven't yet broken out since the condition
occurred} then buy next bar + 1 tick

Forgot one thing!:
The above will keep triggering when price HAS broken out but then falls back
lower again, and presumably you don't want to know about this?!  Hence you'd
need to have the highest high of X bars, to be less than or equal to the
high at X bars ago.  Thus:

value1=MRO of condition;
if high < high of value1 AND highest(h,value1)<= high of value 1 then
buy next bar high + 1 tick;
