Just change it a little - you have:

"buy next bar 2 contracts at open;"

Just need to switch it around a little.

Try the following:

buy("buy") 2 contracts next bar at open;

I used Tradestation many years ago - at the time - way too many problems with EasyLanguage and their Support - was poor. I switched over to MultiCharts - PowerLanguage - which was basically the same as EasyLanguage. MultiCharts has 2 versions - MultiCharts PowerLanguage and MultiCharts.NET C#.

Hope that works for you.

And you might have to enter number of contracts as forex lots - like 100000 contracts for 1 standard Forex lot.

Can you be a little more specific?

For example, post the code (take out anything proprietary) and then paste any error messages, etc.
