Limit as input

[pistolpete]

I'm running a strategy now with the basic market entry, I'm wondering if its possible to have a input option to change the order from market to limit? and if so would it be possible to have an input entry for number of ticks off the limit example input limit, input 5 ticks. so if my strategy was entering long it would put an order out to be buying at $11.45 if the bid was $11.50
Thanks

pistolpete,

You could create a bool parameter and then code two branches for your code.

if (someBool == true)
{
     EnterLongLimit(...);
}
else if (someBool == false)
{
     EnterLong();
}

Same applies for your tick offset. You would just create an int parameter to do that.

I want it as input not just in the code.
Is it possible to have input limit - yes/no?

pistolpete,

You make the parameter as a user input and then you use it in your code. Please see the SMA indicator for an example of how to make an int input. Making a bool one is done exactly the same way, but just as a bool instead of an int.
