First Strategy order executed today:

Short 1487.75

Calculation for a Short is (as described in original post code):

Opening price - 0.66*(5Day High - Yesterdays Closing Price)

1492 - 0.66*(1504.25 - 1498.00) =

1492.00 - 4.13 = 1487.88

Trigger was 1487.75...

Holding a short from this level until either a buy-stop triggers or the coded stop-loss hits.
