Storing Price of Data 2 when last trade was executed

Hi,

I'm trying to store the close of Price2 at the time of the previous trade. I would like to use this as a stop lose for the next trade. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Geoff

Re: Sync autotrader between broker and strategy/chart

is the solution to this issue to combine all the different strategies into a single strategy? Obviously this is cumbersome but this seems to be the best / only solution I could some up with. that being said, i am rather new to autotrading.

Re: Sync autotrader between broker and strategy/chart

Is there an automatic workaround for this issue yet if I am using multiple strategies and trading one security? I do not see a thread that leads me to believe this issue has been resolved. Thanks.

Re: Limit IOG to either buy or sell per bar

is there a way to reference the previous indicator outputs? Since these are based off close pricing, I could add a condition 3 (see below) and have this be part of the "sell" condition. If so, how would you write "condition 3"? Thanks again. [IntrabarOrderGeneration = TRUE] inputs: PriceN( Close dat...

Re: Limit IOG to either buy or sell per bar

Tony, adjusting the number of trades will not work because the same issue could occur in the next bar where the indicator is tripped during the interbar movement (var_Ratio_Momentum > 0). So even if I set the max trade at 0, this might not be true at the end. Also, I am only trying to sell, not sell...

Re: Limit IOG to either buy or sell per bar

Thanks for the reply TJ. Is there a way to set up the "sell" condition so it cannot occur in the same bar as a "buy"?

Limit IOG to either buy or sell per bar

Hi, I am fairly new to MC so sorry for the rudimentary question. I have a strategy that buys or sells at the open of the next bar when a simple cross occurs. I need to use IOG so that when the signal is tripped, the buy or sell occurs immediately at the open of the next bar. In backtesting this stra...

Re: 1-day trading strategy close out before close of market

I'll try to clarify. The strategy has a couple steps: Step 1: Take the average price of data 3 and divide by the average price for data 4. This gives you the "indicator ratio." This happens daily. Step 2: Take the momentum for the current indicator ratio and compare it to the previous indicator rati...

1-day trading strategy close out before close of market

Hi, I am currently running a 1-day strategy that enters and exits based on momentum at the end of the trading day. The challenge is the order goes in when the market closes. Hence, volumes are down and pricing deteriorates so the bid / ask spread is horrible. I would like to have the strategy run at...
