Hi,

How do I code a condition in my buy/sell order open by checking for the price position?

Let's say if I want to check whether the current price has gone above the high of the previous bar, what code do I write?

Do I use "bid" for a buy order and "ask" for a sell order? Or do I use "bid" for both?

for opening an order, ask for buy and bid for sell
vice versa for closing

Like this:

if(Bid> High[1]) //to check if current price is above the high of previous bar

The code doesn't work when I try to do this:

double Buy1 = Low[0];
double Buy2 = Low[1];
double Buy3 = High[1];
double Buy4 = Bid;
double Buy5 = Close[1];

if (Buy1 < Buy2 && Buy4 > Buy5) Order = SIGNAL_BUY;


I can't find anything wrong with my declaration and my Buy condition.
