Re: Multiple Limit Orders

Sorry for confusing you. English is not my native language. Will try to explain again. 1st bar opening price is 100. We buy 200 shares @ 100 at bar opening and place a limit order @ (100+2.5%) = 102.5 . This bar high was < 102.5 and this bar closing price is 98. So limit order remains unfilled. 2nd ...

Re: Multiple Limit Orders

Dear JoshM! Thank you for your help. This one works better BUT it is not working as it should... Your code also "recalculates" the previous limit orders closing price... All I want to get is: if I place a limit order - the system "remembers" its closing price and doesn't change it... until it reache...

Re: Multiple Limit Orders

Thank you for your response. Yes I think you are right. I've made another screenshot with price axes. BUT I thought that as soon as a limit order is placed its closing price doesn't change...

Re: Simulate MOO (Market on Open) / OPG Market Order

Anyway thank you, TJ, for your help.

I found an old feature request for this type of order. It is really must-have feature for those who trade using Daily charts.

Re: Simulate MOO (Market on Open) / OPG Market Order

Thank you TJ. I think it is the most simplest way to simulate such type of orders. I will definitely try it. However I doubt that the price I'll get in real market will exactly match "the first printed price". It may work on high-liquidity instruments with no guarantee of course. Just for informatio...
