Conditions Help

[Shiner452]

I am using the strategy builder and strategy tester. The tester is not showing remotely close to proper trade execution. I want a long entry when the current price is greater or equal to the open plus a certain number of ticks...I am running it on the 1 minute chart and expect it to use the Open of the current 1 minute candle. I have Calculate.OnEachTick; already set so it should be using the actual current price when I use Close[0] Here is the code

// Set 1
if (Close[0] >= (Open[0] + (overticks)) )
{
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(Quantity), @"");
}

"overticks" is an input for total ticks over the open.

Any thoughts?

Hello Shiner452,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

If what you are showing is the code then what you are adding to the Open[0] price is not ticks but points. When you create the "offset" change it from "arithmetic" to "Ticks". You would end up with this code: if (Close[0] >= (Open[0] + (Overticks * TickSize)) )

Ah yes I'm so sorry. I did not notice that! Thanks for the help!
