The following types numerical returns are possible:

:'''1 ''' = Stop order (buy next bar at close - 1 point stop) ,

:'''2 ''' = Limit order (buy next bar at close + 1 point limit) ,

:'''3 ''' = Market order (buy next bar market) ,

:'''4 ''' = Market at Close order (buy this bar at close) ,

:'''5 ''' = Market at Open order (buy next bar open) ,

:'''8 ''' = StopLimit order (buy 1 contracts next bar at close - 2 point stop close + 2 point limit) .

==== Usage ====<syntaxhighlight>PosTradeEntryCategory(PosAgo,TradeNumber)</syntaxhighlight>

Where: [[PosAgo]] - a numerical expression, specifying the position:

[[0]] :'''PosAgo''' - open a numerical expression, specifying the position; :

[[1]] ::'''0''' - one open position back (the last position closed);

[[2]] ::'''1''' - two positions one position back, etc. (the last position closed);

[[::'''2''' - two positions back, etc.  :'''TradeNumber]] ''' - a numerical expression, specifying the number of trade (zero-based).

==== Notes ==== * This function can only be used in signals. * To retrieve the total number of trades in specified position use [[PosTradeCount]].* Use [[PosTradeExitCategory]] to get the numerical value indicating the type of order used for the exit order. == Example == <syntaxhighlight>PosTradeEntryCategory(0, 1);</syntaxhighlight>

To retrieve the total number of trades in specified position use [[PosTradeCount]] ==== Example ==== <syntaxhighlight>PosTradeEntryCategory(0,1) will Will return a value of 1 for the second trade of the open position, if the order type was Stop Order.</syntaxhighlight>
