You add this line at the beginning of your code (including the square brackets):

Code: Select all


[intrabarordergeneration=true]


ps. There are lots of examples in the PowerLanguageEditor.

If the attribute is not present in the study's code, intra-bar order generation can be set by the user in the Calculations tab of the Format Signal window:

where is the calculations tab? which format signal? from multicharts window or portfolio backtester or PLEditor itself?
i'm quite lost.

After you have applied the strategy to your chart,

Right click on the chart,

Select Format Signals

Highlight the strategy,

click the Format button on the right

The Format Signal window will pop up

Look under the Properties tab
