hitting Targets with CrossAbove

[fingers]

With Calculate.OnEachTick I have 4 long targets and I want to create a text message on the chart (e.g. T1 Hit, T2 Hit etc) as each one is hit as the market moves up.

can I use something like this?

if (T1 == false && CrossAbove (Close, T1, 1))
  T1 = true;
if (T1 == true && T2 == false && CrossAbove (Close, T2, 1))
  T2 = true
if (T1 == true && T2 == true && T3 == false && CrossAbove (Close, T3, 1))
  T3 = true
if (T1 == true && T2 == true && T3 == true && T4 == false && CrossAbove (Close, T4 1))
  T4 = true
​
or is there a chance, due to gapping etc, that a target could be missed?

Hello fingers,

Thanks for your post.

To clarify, is T1, T2, etc. in the CrossAbove() conditions referring to the price you are assigning each profit target order?

If so, then yes you could consider taking this approach to detect if the Close price crosses above the profit target order prices.

The Draw.Text() method would be used to draw text on the chart when a certain condition becomes true.

Otherwise, you could consider tracking your orders as Order objects in OnOrderUpdate() and OnExecutionUpdate(), then in OnExecutionUpdate() detect if the OrderState is equal to OrderState.Filled for a specific Order object and call the Draw.Text() method to draw text on the chart.

See the help guide documentation below and SampleOnOrderUpdate reference sample for more information.
