Returns an absolute numerical value, indicating trade exit order category.

The following types are possible:

1 = Stop order (buy next bar at close - 1 point stop)

2 = Limit order (buy next bar at close + 1 point limit)

3 = Market order (buy next bar market)

4 = Market at Close order (buy this bar at close)

5 = Market at Open order (buy next bar open)

8 = StopLimit order (buy 1 contracts next bar at close - 2 point stop close + 2 point limit)

Usage

PosTradeExitCategory(PosAgo,TradeNumber)

Where: PosAgo - a numerical expression, specifying the position:

0 - open position;

1 - one position back (the last position closed);

2 - two positions back, etc.

TradeNumber - a numerical expression, specifying the number of trade (zero-based).

Notes

This function can only be used in signals.

To retrieve the total number of trades in specified position use PosTradeCount

Example

PosTradeExitCategory(0,1) will return a value of 3 for the second trade of the open position, 
if the closing order type was Market Order.
