Re: Print statement for TradeBullet Order Automation

[Larry <lameyering@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Don,

Basically the problem seems to be a mix of numeric and string - the
print command is looking for string.

TradeBullet has this example:

if condition1 then
print (file("C:\TradeBullet\order1.tb"), 
  "place,Simulator,MSFT,ISLAND,BUY,1000,stoplimit," 
  + numtostr(mvarBuyStop,2) + "," 
  + numtostr(mvarBuyStop +1.75) +",day,,,System1");

They say that this works - however there is a problem with it. It looks
like they forgot a coma is needed in (mvarBuyStop +1.75) to make it
(mvarBuyStop +1.75,2).  The ",2" tells how many decimal places to retain
in the string.

With that change the following file was produced with mvarBuyStop = 10.
File name and location were correct.

place,Simulator,MSFT,ISLAND,BUY,1000,stoplimit,10.00,11.75,day,,,System1
