    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:

    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?
