  Hi, I’m a beginner using prorealtime backtesting system.

  Is there any code that indicates to current price.

  Like if I want to sell when the market price reach 100, what should I put into the code?

  Thanks~

  The current price is “Close” or “Close[0]”. Unless a candlestick is closed, its close is always the current price.

  It tried in my code

  x=3

  if close <= close then

  sell close -x stop

  endif

   

  my expectation was if price is going down, sell at current price -3 irrespective where the price is

  however the system is waiting till the current bar is closed.

  Yes, because ProOrder code are only read one time at Close.
