if PlaceMarketOrder(True, True, value1) = True ? [SOLVED]

maxmax68 · Feb 04 2017

Hello,
in a old post I found this code


 if PlaceMarketOrder(True, True, value1) = True then 

            ChangeMarketPosition(value1, close, "Final Buy");

Please, could you explain to me the conditional statement "if PlaceMarketOrder(True, True, value1) = True".

Best regards
Massimo

I would say, the old code is wrong.

I would say, the old code is wrong.

Strange, although unlikely.
The code comes from Dave Masalov

Then the code is correct.

I hope for an explanation from MC Support.

Hello,

In the description of PL Editor I see that PlaceMarketOrder is a StdFunction that returns True/False.

I suppose that is always false.
True when it submits an order.

Best regards.
