[daicacon]

hi,
I would like to enter order in my strategy script when an indicator pattern is found in an indicator script. How do I do this? Below is part of the indicator script. I would like to EnterLong() on my strategy script when (CurrentBar - barback != myBarUp)
thank you for your help!

The code would look like this:



if ( YOUR CODE HERE )
{
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(666), @"LongEntry");
EnterShort(Convert.ToInt32(666), @"ShortEntry");
}



Just use the Strategy Builder to help you with the code. You use the Strategy Builder with the guidelines, you compile it and look at the resulted code. You copy the code to your own code and you continue like this until you have what you need! There are few type of orders, so, I suggest you look at the Strategy Builder first. This type of orders above are just examples (market orders). It maybe not fit your need. And as you may understand, I gave 2 types of orders. In real life, just one is required for each condition.


Have a nice weekend!

Thanks Bricolico. I know how to do that in the strategy but my goal is to enter an order when the indicator triggers "LH" and I don't know how to implement it. the code for the indicator is included.

Hi daicacon, thanks for your question.

Unfortunately, the support team can not create custom code. This is so we can provide the same high level of service for all of our clients. So that members of the community can help, you should describe in as much detail as possible what you want your condition to be (what indicators need to be used and what values must reach a certain criteria).

Kind regards.
