    Hi there!

    Just arrived as a new member. Hoping to get an answer to my question. I trade Forex on 3 hrs timeframes at fixed times: 7 am and 10 am.

    I wonder how I could set a fixed stop of 7 pips below the second bar before the opening of the trade. For instance: when I open a trade at 10 am, I would like to set my stop 7 pips below the “low” of the 4 am bar.

    I hope anyone can help me out!

    Thanks in advance!

    IF YourConditions AND Not OnMarket THEN
       BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
       SET STOP PLOSS (abs(close - low[2]) / pipsize) + 7
    ENDIF

    Since you cannot be sure the second previous bar is lower, this will set a SL anyway.
