Hi, I want to send a pending order when the market reaches a certain price. (NT)

Is this possible ?

CODE:

if (Price = touch_price)
{EnterLong (0,true,contrats,Close[0]+DistanceMarket*TickSize, "Open Long 1");}

Regards.

If you want to go long, use one of these

EnterLongStop
EnterLongLimit

Stop for entries above the current price, and limit for entries below. Replace Long with Short to go short.

Hello again, thank you.

The problem is to write the code that generates the entry.

Can you help me.

_________________________________________________________
Variables

private int touch_price = 1,2345

if (Price = touch_price) // This is wrong code - need change it -

{EnterLongStop (0,true,contrats,Close[0]+DistanceMarket*TickSize, "Open Long 1");}

I'm not sure exactly what you're having trouble with. Your if statement needs == rather than =

Was that all?

Hello again.

I've tried with:

privateint touch_price = 1,4030; // 6E
private boll touch_price = 1,4030; // 6E
private double touch_price = 1,4030; // 6E

And in any case accept decimals.

Also:

if (Position.AvgPrice == touch_price);
GoLong();

I don't know if it works with (Position.AvgPrice == touch_price); .Becasue do not let me compile it by not allowing decimals.

Could you help me.

Greetings.

You need to wrap code snippets in the [code]put code here[/code] tags to prevent bad formatting on the forum.

It sounds like what you are wanting is called Market On Touch. You'll have to run your strategy with COBC = false to monitor tick by tick.

You seem to be saying you are getting an error message. It would be helpful if you would post a screen shot of the error message, but my guess from your posts is that you need to use a dot . not a comma , in the double. BTW, an int cannot have decimals, and a boolean cannot have decimals.

I suggest you study some existing strategy and indicator code, there are hundreds available on this site. Read line by line and you will begin to understand what you can do from others working examples.

maybe this helps for one step ahead ....

your last sentence explains one problem to me

decimals in codes dont like comma but they need to be written with points
try it like this :

 

Code

private int touch_price =  1.4030; // 6E private bool touch_price =  1.4030; // 6E  private double touch_price =  1.4030; // 6E

and report

ooops,
