Trading close of bar if bar is less than n ticks

[ScottieDog]

How can I set a condition of trading close of a bar, if it is less than a certain # of ticks?

Hello ScottieDog,

Thanks for your post.

If I have understood correctly, here is an example:

if ((( High[0] - Low[0]) / TickSize) > 6)
{
// enter order logic here
}

The code High[0] - Low[0] provides the difference in price between the high and low of the bar. Dividing by TickSize uses the instrument tick step value to convert the difference into the number of ticks. > 6 would say if the High to low bar size is > 6 ticks, place an order.
