PowerLanguage Syntax

The following simple code does not compile in the PowerLanguage Editor. Apparently the words "contracts" and "market" are considered errors! They are standard EasyLanguage reserved words. So, what is the correct syntax for this order in MultiCharts?

Inputs: Qty(1);

Buy next bar Qty contracts at market;

Tip #1:

When you encounter an error message and got stumped, take a screen shot of the error message and post it with your question. This is the best way to help people to help you.

Go to Wiki,

select PowerLanguage Keyword Reference

look under: [+] Strategy Orders‎

Find the keyword BUY and study the examples.

Amazing,..never thought there's a difference between:
BUY 1 contract next bar
and
BUY next bar 1 contract
..as they're equally valid in EasyLanguage.
Thanks for pointing that out!

By the way, is there a Water Cooler section here?

Thankfully, no.

That's sad. It's a nice lounge to spend the time in, while waiting for your orders to be filled,...especially if one is infected with the Keyboard Diarrhea virus!
