Opening range breakout

[bradypreston]

has anyone figured out how to by 7 points off the open?

Use Bars.FirstBarOfSession to get the open of the day by accessing Open[0] on that bar. Then it is just a matter of adding 7 points to that value when you submit your EnterLongLimit order.

thanks for the hlep

how about if you want to do this but with day session only times for numerous markets (8:20 EST for bonds, 9:00 for crude, 9:30 for S&Ps) etc. Not interested in building historical bars with day only data, just trading off the open for several markets using the current day session only times.

thanks in advance.

Hello,

Use Josh's post and this link to do it off of multiple instruments:

thanks. I'm still just a bit lost though: how do you set the appropriate times for each individual market for which the "buy off the open" stop would be worked? ( I only want to work the stop from 9:00am to 2:30 p.m. for crude, from 9:30am to 4:00 p.m. for emini's, 8:20 a.m. to 3:00 pm for bonds). I understand there will be a temptae for this in version 7, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this in the current version.

Hello,

Oh, just filter using time ToTime(Time[0]):

These two links have examples that will help you (but not exactly what you want to do):

But you will need to build a different criteria for each instrument bar you use.

Give it a try and post code and questions if you get stumped.
