Re: EasyLanguage Question

[Ian MacAuslan <imacauslan@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks.  As long as I assume I am filled at an O-H-L-C price the method
works (in your suggestion "EntryP = C").  Now suppose it's a Buy Stop
order --e.g.

 If {Buy Setup Conditions } then
    Buy at UpperMA + 1/16 point stop.

Then one can't determine the "phantom" entry price can you??

It seems to me this is because EasyLanguage is "bar" oriented--the only
exception being BUY,SELL,EXIT orders, which EasyLanguage monitors
"constantly".

I've considered doing a second data stream (of smaller time frame, x) to
monitor whether the threshold is met, at the end of each "x" unit of
time, rather than at the end of a full bar.  Do you think this would
work?
