Re: Buy at open/Sell at open bug

MAtricks,

I spent some time with the Live Chat and my understanding is that for it to work correctly you have to use Barstatus=2 in your code:

if BarStatus=2 then begin
if C < C[1] then buy next bar open;
if C > C[1] then sellshort next bar open;
end;

or

Use barmagnifier

Bruce is a valuable contributor to this forum and there is a lot to learn from his detailed explanations.

Every one is entitled to his/her opinion but it should never get to personal attacks.
