How to program an entry in long and short when a symbol appears!

[8033075]

Hi everyone! I am programming a strategy on an indicator that I create myself, but I have a problem for the execution of its orders, and that is that the buy and sell orders are subject to the appearance of a symbol in the middle of the confirmation candle.

I look for that when a symbol appears in any part of the body of the candle immediately or at least one or two ticks later, I make my entry into the market, but I still cannot place market orders at the moment that the symbol appears, such as saying price of market = symbol in question.

I would like to know if someone here can help me with the logic that I should use, at least so that what I will show you next in an image happens, thank you very much.

Hello 8033075,

From the description all that I could currently suggest would be that you run the script OnEachTick and then place the entry syntax within the symbol condition that you mentioned.

If the entry is being submitted later than expected that would very likely be a situation where you will need to use Prints to better understand why that is happening when you run the script.

So that we can better assist with your question on the forums you will likely need to provide more specific details here. For example a excerpt of the logic you are asking about so that we can get an idea of what code is being used and how it would execute when run.

Because you are asking about a specific condition (symbol) you would likely need to provide more specifics. An example of the values from the bars/indicators used in your condition would help. Prints will also help with that and understanding why the condition was or was not true at a given time.


I look forward to being of further assistance.
