Strategy Entry

[JTizz]

What setting on Strategy builder would I need to use to have an entry at a indicator line, not on close of candle? See attached
When price touches line enter long order.

Hello JTizz,

Thank you for your post.

To have your strategy enter a position when the current price touches the indicator line before the close of the bar, you would set your strategy to Calculate.OnEachTick or Calculate.OnPriceChange instead of Calculate.OnBarClose.

The condition in your strategy would check if the Close[0] price >= the indicator and then calls an action of EnterLong().

See this help guide documentation for more information.

Hello JTizz,

Thank you for your note.

Are you running the strategy in the Strategy Analyzer, on a Chart window, or from the Strategies tab of the Control Center?

Are you running the strategy on the Playback Connection with Market Replay data or are you running the strategy on live data?

If you are running the strategy on a Chart window, are you referring to historical trades that are placed or realtime trades?

I look forward to assisting further.

Also, please provide us with the settings that you are using for your strategy. This includes the instrument, bar type, and bar interval you are enabling the strategy on. For example, using the ES 06-21 instrument with 1-minute bars.

I look forward to assisting further.
