  Hi,  Could someone please advise if it’s possible to reference data from the entry bar and use that in the stops?

  eg.  at the entry bar, the low = 10.  Stop if close<10

  Thanks very much.

  Yes, you can put your stoploss directly when entering the trade like this:

  set the stoploss at the low of the bar entry

  if entrycondition then buy 1 share at market set stop loss close-low endif

  1 2 3 4

  if entrycondition then buy 1 share at market set stop loss close-low endif

  Thanks Nicolas.

  It doesn’t seem to be working.  What does ‘close-low’ mean please?
