Re: entry on current bar

[Roger Shepherd <mailrs@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello  Jeremy,

Issue the order on the closing bar prior to the one on
which you want the entry to take place.

Set up 2 new variables, BuyPrice and SellPrice Then add this code:

BuyPrice = Close + MarketTicks;
SellPrice = close - MarketTicks;

Then enter your orders at the close as

Buy next bar at BuyPrice stop;
Sell next bar at SellPrice stop;
