Which is CLOSE[0] when candle closes

gfx · 2022-01-18T10:51:58+00:00

Hi all, I am getting confused and can’t get my code to work 🙂 Let’s say TF is ‘1 minute’. Please look at the attached document 🙂 When the current one minute candle closes, are we in case1 or case 2 ? Imagine I want to place an order at the open of the next candle (not yet displayed on graph … ) shall I write … If Close[0] < Low[1], i.e Case 2, or If Close[1] < Low[2] … i.e. Case 1 ? I could have asked … what triggers the candle index shift ? Closing of current candle, or opening of the following ? thks,

Case 2.

Just use BUY or SELLSHORT, the trade will open immediately, there’s no need to use old keyword NEXTBAROPEN.

The candle identified by [0], or nothing, is the last closed candle, which is the current candle until the next one closes.
