Re: LOOK inside Bar order entry

["Michael King" <mrking@xxxxxxxx>]

I would like to thank you all for trying to help with a solution to a
problem.
Some of your responses have been good or interesting . (and some haven't
been either).

When I posted this request it wasn't to solve a certain problem.
It was intended to be a straight forward question.

>> Does anybody know of a 3rd party .DLL that will over come this
> > problem, and LOOK INSIDE BAR for order entries ?

I tried to give an example , to explain myself better.
However this just confused the situation.

I know 3rd parties write programs (.dll) to enhance limitations of
TradeStation.
Such as sharing indicators from one chart to another.
The best program I have seen to enhance this limitation with TS is
PUSHPOP.dll .

It seems no one here has an answer to my QUESTION , and I thank you all for
responding.


Kind Regards.

Michael,

Why don't you just mathematically calculate what the price would have to
be the previous bar and put in limit orders. The only problem is that
the next bar's price may not close in the same entry region. Of course,
if you knew the difference between your entry price and the closing
price, you wouldn't be taking to us.

Hi ,

Thanks for your help .

However I gave an example just as an example.

Here is another example ..

Buy This bar at a Band touch (Price) and If  RSI  is Less than X .

Considering you don't know the value of the band the bar before or the
value of RSI the bar before . You cant say Buy Next Bar at Limit Price
because you don't know the price.

Kind Regards.
