How to display entry price into AddOrder line

March 29th, 2019, 09:30 PM

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_AUTO, sma crosses over ema, entry, name = "LONG");

I am trying to find a way to essentially display the entry or trigger price when the strategy gives a signal. I was thinking "entryprice" which I tried but it was not working. I tried putting typing "name = entryprice ()" but it was errors.

Hoping someone in here can assist. Thanks!

In thinkscript, (as in any programming), the error you get is the most important clue to what is wrong.
EntryPrice() is a numerical value. Name must be a string.

See the thinkscript function AsText(), might be useful here:

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_AUTO, sma crosses over ema, entry, name = "LONG"), AddLabel(yes, NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES));

My apologies for my errors. I am new to coding in general.

This did not work as well.

I was thinking, I did not need " (close - close[length]) / close[length]" because the AddOrder would trigger the price? I tried with it as well as without... did not work.
