```
Defparam cumulateorders = false
 
// LONGS & SHORTS
IF BarIndex > 508 THEN
Buy 1 Shares AT 133.133 Limit
ENDIF

IF LongOnMarket Then
Set Stop pLoss 12
ENDIF
```

The market price on March 24 at 20:00 was 130,719…

You want to buy now (Buy Limit 133.133) ABOVE the market price, so your Limit order turns into a Market order, and you buy for 130,731…

Buy Limit always BELOW the market price…

What time do you think corresponds to BarIndex > 508…? Time frame 15 minutes, 508 * 15 min = 7620 minutes (127 hours)…?

You can use the BarIndex but for example in this way: If IntraDayBarIndex = 10 then Buy 1 contract at Market EndIf The “IntraDayBarIndex” resets itself every day so every day you buy when this BarIndex is equal to 10…
