Enters a long position on the next open if the open is greater than or equal to the specified price. This function is generally used by an Entry Block to initiate a position.

 

Syntax:

broker.EnterLongOnStopOpen( stopPrice [, protectStopPrice] )

 

Parameter:

Description:

stopPrice

Stop order price

protectStopPrice

Value of the protect Exit Stop price to be used in case the market goes against the position (optional parameter when a protective exit price isn't wanted for the bar of entry).

 

Returns:

When a broker function succeeds it will place a True in the system.orderExists() and when it fails to this property will return a False.  Before attempting to access any order information expected from a broker order, consider checking to confirm an order was created with a conditional statement similar to this:

'  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'  When New Order is Created,...
If system.OrderExists() THEN
  '  Apply Order Detail To Trade Information
  order.SetRuleLabel( sRuleLabel)
 
  '  Apply Order Details To Order Information
  order.SetOrderReportMessage( sRuleLabel)
ENDIF '  s.OrderExists
'  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Example:

broker.EnterLongOnStopOpen( entryPrice, protectStopPrice )

OR

broker.EnterLongOnStopOpen( entryPrice )
