So in the entry script, instrument.close is yesterday's close. And when you say broker.enterLongOnOpen, it is for today.

When you been trading 11 years, i think you can come up with some tradable strategies and have enough confidence to start a Hedge fund.

i also been looking for the answer about where to take courage to get into the markets again after have been "whipped around" alot... after watching Ari Kiev's talk on NYMEX symposium and he said there:"after a losing streak, when taking your next trade thikn about those big winners y...
