Returns True value if the trade was opened by buy order, otherwise False value is returned.

Usage

PosTradeIsLong(PosAgo, TradeNumber)

Where:

PosAgo - a numerical expression, specifying the position:
0 - open position;
1 - one position back (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.

Example

PosTradeIsLong(0, 1);

Will return True for the second trade of the open position, if this trade was opened by "buy" (i.e. enter long) order.
