I Want To Specify Long Entry With Stop Limit 2 Ticks Above Bar 1

[bijan]

I want to specify a long entry with a Stop Limit order 2 ticks above the last bar's close. How is this done in code. I have gotten this far:
EnterLongStopLimit(Close[1]);
But I do not know how to enter the 2 ticks above bar 1.

You need to use the entry order method signature with at least 2 parameters. Make sure you study the help guide to show you exactly what the various combinations of parameters are available to use.

So, for example:

EnterLongStopLimit(Close[1] + TickSize*2, Close[1] + TickSize*6)

Assuming I haven't made any dumb mistakes (very tired at the moment, LOL), what you'll get is an entry order with a stop price 2 ticks above close of last bar and a limit price of 6 ticks above close of last bar.

Hello bijan,

Coolmoss gave a great example, but you will want to make sure the limit price is equal to or greater than the stop price for a buy orders. So for "EnterLongStopLimit(double limitPrice, double stopPrice)" you may want to use "EnterLongStopLimit(Close[1] + TickSize*2, Close[1] + TickSize*2)" for example.

Also, to make sure your order is not rejected you may want to make sure that your Stop price is above the current market as well so you may want to check to see if "Close[1] + TickSize*2" is greater than "Close[0]".
