How to get price level for limit order

[brucelevy]

I have an indicator that plots a level on the chart. I would like to know how I can pull the price level for use as an entry by limit order.

So for example if price crosses below the 8 SMA, I want the price of the high of the bar that crossed below the 8 SMA so that I may enter by long limit order.

Thanks.

Hello brucelevy,

Thanks for your post.

With the example of price crossing below an 8 period EMA and wanting to place an order at the high of the bar where the price crossed you would need to use either a stop or stoplimit as you would be wanting to go long above the current price. Here is an example:

if (CrossBelow(Close, EMA(8), 1)
{
EnterLongStop (1, High[0]);
}

OK great, how can I go about storing that price level for later use?

Hello brucelevy,

Thanks for your reply.

To store that value for later use, you would need to declare a double variable in the region variables and then in the code some thing like:

if (CrossBelow(Close, EMA(8), 1)
{
EnterLongStop (1, High[0]);
mySavedHigh = High[0]; // save value for later use.
}
