Referencing back to the entry bar.

Postby tradeprice » 12 Dec 2010

Hi,
I just searched for a function which can reference back to the entry bar and found in the EL_Ref_Guide on page 127 "Tying the Exit Price to the Order Bar" that there is a simple function called "At$".

I tried to enter this simple code:
Buy ("Buy1") next bar at High stop;
sell from entry ("Buy1") next bar at$ low stop;

However it doesn't let me compile because of the at$ function.
Can somebody please help me on that?

In general, my intention is to place a static stop behind the low of the entry bar. Probably for many of you an easy problem to solve.

Thanks in advance. Best regards

you have to code the logic step by step...

so what you are saying is that there is no easy supported function like at$ to reference back to the entrybar in multicharts?

Well, if that is the case, then I suggest multicharts to implement such a function in the future releases.
