  hi

  I’m testing buy one share at limit price but it’s still not working, what I’m missing ? maybe need more coffee 😅

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  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

  – I want to buy after BarIndex > 508 : why not working ?
  – I want to buy at 133.133 JPY : the program buy at 130.xxx JPY, Why ?

  Tks in advance for all your light 😊

  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…

  Hi,

  You probably already know this picture, but it is clear about the different types of orders…
