broker.EnterShortAtLimit( limitPrice [, protectStopPrice] )

limitPrice

Limit 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).

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
'  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

broker.EnterShortAtLimit( priceTarget, protectStopPrice )

OR

broker.EnterShortAtLimit( priceTarget )
