Dear Support Team,
The code at the end of this message (with "if LastTrade = -1 then begin" and "if LastTrade = -1 and marketposition = 1 then begin") I obtained from www.tradingblox.com compiles successfully.
However, if use "LastTrade" OR terms with similar meaning like "prevMarketPosition" OR "MarketPosition [1]" in another code I get errors.
All I want to describe is:
• SellShort ONLY if last trade was a Buy;
• Buy ONLY if last trade was a SellShort.
Thank you
Regards,
Khalid

How to Describe LAST TRADE
Re: How to Describe LAST TRADE
hi, i am having the same problem and just wondering if you can give a bit more details as how did you change the code to implemented this? thanks a lot.
