Is there a way to set a Stop Order Entry based on actual Tick price? I'm guessing maybe function tick() could do but I'm not quite figuring out how to do this... If someone would be so kind to provide me some sample code on how this could be done I would surely be grateful. Thank you

Code // print every price quote in a file function tick() { var dAsk=priceClose(); } function run() { if (is(INITRUN)) { set(TICKS); // before asses } } Last edited by Grat; 06/12/20 07:44.

Up to this point I have not been using anything like this, and it has opened my eyes. When using this I have noticed higher probability of wins and high overall profit to confirm a trend before entry. My code... I use a similar logic for short but setting the other direction. I simply use the set(TICKS). I don't implement a ticks() function. Code BarPeriod = 60; set(TICKS); TickTime = 3000; Fill = 3; EntryTime = 3; ... var buyEntry = priceHigh(1)+PIP enterLong(0,buyEntry) Result...
