Reference to the daily open

[nt2010]

Hello,

probably its realy easy answered, but i havent found the answer in the forum.

when i like to enter a trade if the close of the last bar was higher then the open of the day (first tick of the session), how do i do this ?

if (Close[0] > ??? )

Thank you

Hello,

Just store the Open[0] of the first tick that comes in for the session then use that value in your condition. Give that a shot and let me know if you have any questions.

you could also use the indicator that comes with NT named CurrentDayOHL

Hi Ben,

i dont know how to start with this because i dont know how to store the first tick of the day. Could you give me an additional hint please ? Maybe there is a sample file you could refer to that i could use to archive my goal ?

maybe i start like:
double DayOpenPrice = Open[?].firstbarofsession ?

Thank you !

Hello,

If Laserdan's suggestion does what you want, that is probably cleaner. Just always use the CurrentDayOHL value.

Give it a try and post your code if it doesn't work.

Hello Ben & Laserdan,

thank you for your help.
It seems that
Close[0] > CurrentDayOHL().CurrentOpen[0]
does the job.

thank you
