Hello guys I'd like to ask you to help me with following issue:

I'm trying to code an entry (daily timeframe) which will be generated during active bar/day at yesterday's price (high or low). The problem probably is, that the signal is valid AFTER new day's opening - I have IntraBarOrderGeneration=TRUE setting, however it doesn't help... see why:

This is what I have:

IntraBarOrderGeneration=TRUE;
Buy ( "long" ) this bar at low[1] stop; {<- I want to have BUY STOP order placed right after OPEN on previous bar's LOW, the OPEN is lower that previous LOW}

Unfortunately it return's error: 'Stop and limit orders can only be placed for the next bar' <-but I want to enter in active bar, not next one.

Please help me guys, it will be really appreciated!
Thank you

Hi
Have a look at this coding example from big mike



Big Mike is using a "limitprice" which is defined as lowest(low, 10) meaning the lowest of the previous 10 bars, replace 10 with 1 and you have the low of the previous bar

hope this helps

Hi tolu7325,

with intrabar order generation "next bar" will be the next tick, so you can use this.

Hello guys,

Thanks a lot for our tips!
Here is what works:

[IntrabarOrderGeneration = true]
if Open < low[1] then
Buy ( "Ops" ) next bar at low[1] stop;
