In Mikes Easylanguage video, he shows the following code:
if CurrentShares = 100 then begin
Sell("Exit L300-CS100 Target") 100 Shares next Bar at (EntryPrice + t3) Limit;
Sell("Exit L300-CS100 Stop") 100 Shares next Bar at St3 Stop;
end;
But the problem is, that it cant execute the sales on the current bar. So how can I make it so it uses "this bar" instead of "next bar"?
Thanks in advance.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
It is obvious for @Bimi, but I prefer to add this comment for the OP.
With the above instruction, the trade will be triggered the first time the condition is met within the bar. Possibly in the middle of the bar or even at the first tick.
Ok I did that, but i still have a problem, I want to enter using next bar, but possibly exit this bar. So I changed the code, and noticed that buy 100 shares next bar at the high of the current bar wont trigger a buy ever....
Here is the code
[intrabarordergeneration = true]
If Low > Low[1] and High > High[1] then begin
if barstatus(1) = 2 then Buy ("Enter Long") 300 Shares Next Bar At (High) stop;
end;
....
....
....
if CurrentShares = 100 then begin
Sell("Exit L300-CS100 Target") 100 Shares next Bar at (EntryPrice) Limit;
Sell("Exit L300-CS100 Stop") 100 Shares next Bar at st3 Stop;
end;
print ("this is ticksize = "+ NumToStr(ticksize ,2));
print ("this is enter = "+ NumToStr(entryprice ,2));
print ("this is stop = "+ NumToStr(st1 ,2));
print ("this is stopsize = "+ NumToStr(stopsize ,2));
if CurrentShares = 100 then begin
