I started new thread beacause i thought it can be soft problems and maybe there are better programs which can fill orders immiediatly.
Read ochies reply again. You expect to do better than the very next tick? You can no till at prices that have already past.

Re: Multicharts and Market Orders

thanks for your help. I use 233 tick bars, therefore 234 tick is too late, because new high can be after 135 ticks or 111 ticks or ... never know. As i see from your replies the best solutionis to use 1 tick bar charts, then sell on next tick make sense.

Any better ideas will be welcome!

Haven't tried this in many moons but used to work like this. Didn't you get this info in that other thread? You tried it and it didn't work?

Re: Multicharts and Market Orders

maybe i don't how to use it properly, but i didn't get result about which you wrote
i just tried, wrote IntrabarOrderGeneration=t rue in script and strategies solf only on next bar open not on next tick as you wrote, unfortunatly.

P.S. I tried it in 233 tick chart

How about 232 tick bars
These are elementary EL questions which you can ask on the MC tssupport forum.

The fact is you are having a short circuit logic problem in your thinking. By definition, you can't know the H or the L of a bar until the bar is closed. You can however, create a derivative of price that can meet a certain criteria (often this is called an indicator), so that the condition is met intrabar. IOG (Intrabar order generation) logic was created for such purposes.

Coud you check this simple strategie, i'm intresting what results you will get.

[IntrabarOrderGeneration=t rue]
IF Low < Low[1] then
sellshort this bar at market;
if high > High[1]then
buytocover this bar at market;

Please also see attached file, which results i recieve and what i really want from this strategy, maybe it will be more clear.
You are overcomplicating this. All you want to do is to sell on the next bar when it goes lower than the trigger bar's low.

So just use this on the bar that is your "trigger" bar: sellshort next bar at low stop;
