Something Simple

[suburban]

I have been trying to code a fairly simple statement. However, today does not seem to be my day. Here is what I am trying to do.

If the entry bar closes as a doji then exit trade.

Can someone please tell the synatax. For the life of me I am not getting it. It is probably something simple I missed.

Hi suburban,

Have you tried the Strategy Wizard? You can use the Wizard to automatically generate you the code.

The syntax would be something like this:

if (CandleStickPattern(ChartPattern.Doji, 4).PatternFound[0] == 1)
{
    ExitLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
}

That's It

Thanks Josh! That worked. So, if I wanted to close the trade when this triggered at my entry price plus one tick. I would state:

ExitLongLimit(Open[0] + 1 * TickSize)


Would that be correct?

TIA for your help.

Yup. That should work out for you.
