How to fade an entry by a few tics?

[forrestang]

I currently have a strategy that enters a position based on the bar closing above a level.

I am wanting to wait for the closing price, and fade that level by a number of tics.

I have tried the following in place of the normal entry:

EnterLongLimit(DefaultQuantity, Fade, "Long Entry");

Where fade is a user input INT set to the number of ticks. But this doesn't work as I think that portion of the order is expecting a DOUBLE value of the actual price I want to enter at?

Please clarify what you mean by "fade". Thank you.

Thanks Josh.

Using ES(mini SP) for example:

Let's say price closes above a level I have. And let's say the closing price of that bar is 1030.00.

I have just been using an entry like this which executes like a market order:

EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "Long Entry");

So the entry might wind up being 1030.00 or close to it.

BUt I want to take that closing price of 1030.00, and subtract say 2 ticks, and enter on a limit of 1029.50.

Is this possible?

forrestang,

Possible and very easy to do. Please try this:

EnterLongLimit(DefaultQuantity, Close[0] - 2 * TickSize, "Long Entry");

The 2 can be your Fade variable.

Thank you so much!! This worked perfectly!
