Returns an absolute numerical value, indicating trade entry order category.
The following types 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]] - 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 ====
<syntaxhighlight>PosTradeEntryCategory(0,1) will return a value of 1 for the second trade of the open position,
if the order type was Stop Order.</syntaxhighlight>
