    Hi, I wish to enter trade only once previous bar high has been breached.

    So I coded the following: BUY 1 LOT AT high+1 STOP

    However I want this rule to be valid for one bar only, otherwise have stop order cancelled.

    Any ideas?

    Pending orders only last one bar, so you just need not place it again once entered.

    Hi, thanks. The issue I have is that the code delays entry by one bar (close of bar). Do you know if it is possible to enter trade intrabar instead?

    When you place a pending order, a trade is entered as soon as the desired entry price is reached without having to wait the closure of a bar.

    It is not possible to enter AT MARKET while a bar is forming. In such case you may need to use the Multiple Time Frame support (MTF) that allows you to set as default a lower TF while still evaluating conditions on the higher ones. The lowest TF used is the one that sets the “pace” at which strategies are executed. So if you choose 1-minute TF you’ll be able to access any candlestick, no matter what TF, every minute. You’ll have a chance to decide whether entering a trade while conditions have not yet been confirmed or wait till the candle on the higher TF closes. In any case you can decide on a minute-by-minute basis.

    All TF’s used (up to 5+default) in a strategy must be multiple of the default (lowest) one. So if you want to use 1-minute, 1-hour and daily TF it’s ok, but you cannot use 7-minute, 1-hour and daily TF’s.
