Change or calculate data within strategy builder

[deanldavis475]

In using Strategy builder is it possible without resorting to programming outside of the builder to place an order X number of tics away from the highest bar in n bars based on other conditions ?? If my signal is activated can I place an order 4 tics above from the highest bar in the past 10 bars is what I am trying to say.

Hello deanidavis475,

You could save the value of the highest high of x bars ago to a variable on each bar, and pass this price variable to a EnterLongLimit method, however adding the offset to this variable would not be possible in the editor.

I will add a feature request to be able to add an offset to variables.

You always could unlock the wizard and add this, which might look like.

	Xvar = HighestBar(Close, 10);
	EnterLongLimit(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), Xvar+[B]3*TickSize[/B], "");

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Try this.
2nd and 3rd screenshots show two different ways for same 4 ticks offset.

On 2nd screenhot 0.04 meant 4 tick for CL: 4 * 0.01 = 0.04
