Point in right direction

[dline]

Hi all,
I'm trying to write a script that will allow me to enter a trade after yesterdays close if it has gapped up or down.

The idea is to be alerted and to enter when the price comes down (short entry) or up (long entry) to yesterday close.

Example.

SHORT SIGNAL Price opens gapped in the morning but moves down to yesterdays close then continues. It's at yesterdays close that I want to be alerted and to enter short.

My stop and profit parameters are stop at 30 ticks stop and to start a trailing stop after 15 points of moves in desired direction.

Probably too much to ask for ..... but many thank's for any consideration

Please point me in the right direction if there is a similar script in existence
