Store lowest tick since entry in variable

maybe (entryprice - maxpositionloss/bigpointvalue)

Hmmm, I didn't get this to work. It flips to a wrong value when EntryPrice - MaxPointLoss isn't 0. Or am I overlooking something?

Your other solution, with...

If BarsSinceEntry < MaxBarsBack Then LowestPrice = Lowest(L, BarsSinceEntry);

...worked really perfect, except that it would only be able to keep a lowestprice as long as the MaxBarsBack was set to. And if I tried to set that Max higher, like 1000 or more, the strategy didn't execute.

I tried to work with LowestArray, as such...

HTML Code:

Variables: 
      Count(0),
      LowestPrice(0);

If Close < EntryPrice Then
     Count = Count + 1;
Array: LowPricesArray[](EntryPrice);
Array_SetMaxIndex(LowPricesArray, Count);
LowPricesArray[Count] = Close;

LowestPrice = LowestArray(LowPricesArray, Count);

...however, it seems that LowestArray returns a wrong value. Any ideas as to what I'm getting wrong here?

Really appreciate your help!

Hi Sandpaddict, thanks for your reply. I tried that as well, but if I set the MaxBarsBack too high the strategy doesn't execute. When I read about the reserved word MaxBarsBack in the EasyLanguage reference, I don't really understand why, though.

Hi again Learningeasy.

I haven't used Tradestation in some years now but my first question to myself was why would your strategy not execute? Then I remembered I had a similar issue...

I have no idea if it's the same problem and I don't remember why it was but if you set your MaxBarsBack TOO FAR BACK yes you'll have issues like 10,000 or whatever. But if you try at like 1950 it might work.

****UPDATE****
Your code still can't call farther that that 1950 in this case as well! That tripped me up.

Again I have no idea if this will work for you but hopefully! And test those numbers for sure. Those just came to mind first.

Please let me know
