Easylanguage - Clarification of Exits

[stv 10]

Hi

 

Just wondering if someone could clarify the following Easylanguage code snippet from a EOD system.

 

 

Sell Next Bar from entry("buy_signal_name") At$ lowest(low,<value>) stop;

Buy to Cover Next Bar from entry("sell_signal_name") At$ highest(high,<value>) stop;

 

 

What I am wondering is whether both the "Sell Next Bar from entry" and "Buy To Cover Next Bar from entry" signals (as written above) are only for the day of entry, or whether they would run for the life of the trade?

 

The system is basically a stop/reversal system that also utilises a protective stop in certain circumstances and I am trying to understand some of those circumstances (i.e. is it day of entry only, or life of trade).

 

The context of the code is:

 

if(marketposition <> 1 ) then Buy ("signal_name") tomorrow at <value> stop;

if(marketposition <>-1) then Sell Short ("signal_name") tomorrow at <value> stop;

 

Sell Next Bar from entry("buy_signal_name") At$ lowest(low,<value>) stop;

Buy to Cover Next Bar from entry("sell_signal_name") At$ highest(high,<value>) stop;

 

 

thanks
