Price Comparision

[qzhang119]

Hi all,

I am going to compare current price with my previous entry price.
Example>:

If ( RSI < 25 )
{
EnterLong;
}

If ( CurrentPrice < Previous Entry Price)
{
EnterLong;
}

For CurrentPrice I can use Close[0], but how can I get previous entry price ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello qzhang119,
You have to assign an object to your entry orders.

in variable

IOrder order = null;

in OnBarUpdate

if (condition)
{
 order = EnterLong();
}

if (order != null && Close[0] < order.AvgFillPrice)
{
   //do something
}

Hi Joydeep,

I got a situation such as(ES09-12):
enterlong $10 @price1;
enterlong $20 @price2;
enterlong $30 @price3.

exitlong ($10 + $20 + $30 @price4);
----------------------------------------------------------
I try to set private int target1 = 10, int target2 = 20, int target3 = 30
private int totaltarget = 60
exitlong(totaltarget, "Exit")
However, get warning that totaltarget is a string, cannot convert to int.

Could you help me?
Thanks in Advance.

Hello qzhang119,
If you try submitting the exit orders using the below overload then can you successfully submit the orders

ExitLong(int quantity, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)

Hi Joydeep,

I use the "ExitLong(int quantity, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)" style, but what I want here is sum different quantities into a total number to exitlong. For example:
enter 10 quantity(targetquantity1) at price1;
enter 10 quantity(targetquantity2) at price2;
enter 10 quantity(targetquantity3) at price3.

int totalquantity= targetquantity1+targetquantity2+targetquantity3;

exitlong(totalquantity, "exitlong");

but the system shows "totalquantity cannot be converted into int", but I have pre-defined it as:
private int totalquantity.

Could you help me?

Thanks

Your syntax is wrong.

If you want to simply go flat, use ExitLong(), and the quantity is irrelevant; you will simply exit everything, no matter how many contracts.

If you want to control the number, then use ExitLong(totalquantity).
