Good afternoon,

I'm looking to reference a previous trade in my automated trading strategies. I would like to use them in the following cases:
- Using prior exit price+X as a reentry stop level
-If previous trade moved X% then no counter direction trade
-If previous trade P&L was pos/neg then activate X/Y/Z procedure

I've searched through reserved words and threads on this and other sites. I could well have missed it so I wonder if anyone here could point me in the right direction.

Many thanks,

GM

GreenMound,

you might want to look into the reserved words ExitPrice and EntryPrice. They should work for you in case you don't scale in or out of trades.
