GOTCHA!!!!

What do you think about the possibility of an OpenLongPendingOrderAtHighOfPreviousBar script?

Idea is nice. I'll see what I can do. There are brokers, however, which won't let you put a pending order so close to current price.

Try this.

For the long, the script will add the current(!) spread...

I'm demoing with MBT, so we'll see how well that goes. ;-)

Thanks a lot, blubbb!!!

That ended up going 2 bars back from the current bar instead of just 1. :oops:

What do you mean? The code says High[1] and Low[1] and should do exactly that.

Well, I guess it didn't. It just made the order much further away from the high of the previous candle.

I guess this isn't going to work.

I probably better stick to Market Orders.

I was trying to mimic TRO's use of Limit orders but I don't see how he gets his Limit orders in close enough.

Blubb, thanks a lot for the modification!

1. Need new glasses, never realized that average price is indicated on the left price column - I actually meant, but no longer necessary, to indicated average price above the average price line in main window

2. I have one more question / request after reading Tex's idea.... Semafor are calculated (though i still don't understand how) - is there a possibility to program a script that
- on a predetermined (fixed) tf (e.g. I only use H1 and H4)
- opens long order on semafor 3 when a semafor 3 low is printed
- and a short order when a semafor 3 high is printed....
I know this is risky but I have a devised a methodology around it that does work well for me, it would allow me to minimize screen time.....

Cheers
