i set breakeven to equal the entry price + 4 ticks im getting the following error message when compiling "syntax error, expecting 'bars'
line 15, column 23"

i am getting the following error message when compiling syntax error, {expecting 'bars'
line 18, column 23}

Code: Select all

[IntrabarOrderGeneration = false]
inputs: FloorAmt( 1 ), AmounT(.0002), PositionBasis( false ) ;

variables: var0(0),var1(0);

var0 =marketposition;

var1= setbreakeven;

if PositionBasis then
SetStopPosition
else
SetStopShare ;

if var0 = -1 then
var1= entryprice + 4 Ticks ;

i am getting the following error message when compiling syntax error, {expecting 'bars'
line 18, column 23}

Go to your code...

find out the location of the problem at "line 18, column 23".

try this:

var1= entryprice + 4 * Ticks ;

note the asterisk (*) between 4 and ticks.

before you go further...

look up the keyword

Ticks

Code: Select all

[IntrabarOrderGeneration = false]
inputs: FloorAmt( 1 ), AmounT(.0002), PositionBasis( false ) ;

variables: var0(0),var1(0);

var0 =marketposition;

var1= setbreakeven;

if PositionBasis then
SetStopPosition
else
SetStopShare ;

if var0 = -1 then
var1= entryprice + 4 Ticks ;

setbreakeven is a predefined function. And you have var1 = setbreakeven and var1 = entryprice + 4 ticks; So you are defining var1 two times and each time they are different.

As TJ notes, you can't say 4 ticks but 4 * ticksize and you have to define ticksize as ticksize (minmove/pricescale); where you declare variables. So you have a few things going on here.
