Hi,

I have some old EasyLanguage code, circa 1996, and I am trying to convert it to MC ver 8. I know that the old EXITLONG is now SELL and the old EXITSHORT is now BUYTOCOVER but can anybody help me with the following code?

 

Code

IF BBUY=99999 THEN BUY("ID/NR4 SX") SX STOP; IF SSELL=0 THEN SELL("ID/NR4 LX") LX STOP; IF BBUY<99999 THEN BUY("ID/NR4 Buy") BBUY STOP; IF SSELL>0 THEN SELL("ID/NR4 Sell") SSELL STOP;

What do I need to do to convert the above code to ver 8 MC?

Thanks.

I think this should work- (you still have to change it to "sell" to close "Longs" and buytocover to close shorts..)

 

Code

IF BBUY=99999 THEN BUY("ID/NR4 SX") next bar at SX STOP; IF SSELL=0 THEN SELL("ID/NR4 LX") next bar at LX STOP; IF BBUY<99999 THEN BUY("ID/NR4 Buy") next bar at BBUY STOP; IF SSELL>0 THEN SELL("ID/NR4 Sell") next bar at SSELL STOP;

Thanks sptrader. I managed to get the code to compile successfully but it isn't plotting anything so obviously, I am doing something wrong.

you need to give values for bbuy,ssell,sx and lx that are valid for a signal to be true... if you post the entire code , maybe I can help.

Not sure I am allowed to post the code because it's copyrighted. Thanks for the help.
