Use an open trade's price level as a condition

[Jacobus Retief]

Hi, please help. How to use the price level of an existing trade in your account as a variable in the condition block. Maybe I'm missing something, is this possible?

What I mean is, if I have a BUY position on GOLD at 2652.77, how do I get that value as a variable in the condition block?

For Each Trade block....connected to....>

Formula Block: (in loop) Trade/Order in Loop>Open Price.....>Put into Variable*

Thank you for the response. Very few people try to assist me. However I see the formula block contains + - / x functions and I don't understand how to input that into a variable. I think I just don't get it, my brain is just not grasping the concepts. I don't understand how I can use that in a Condition block.

Well everyone here is only a volunteer and gives of their time when they can*

Ok so firstly create your Variable like this:
Type = double
Name = Open_Price
Value = 0

Then follow my last post and the formula would be the open price + 0 and then right click on Put Into This Variable....and input your variable....

Then in condition block (or any blocks) you can right click where you want to put it and input the variable*

I see you requested coaching....PM me your best offer ....:-))

Hi, sorry, I tried as you recommended, but it does not work. I think I totally misunderstand all of this. I can explain my trading strategy in words (English language narrative of how I trade), but when it comes to create a algorithm to automate this, it is beyond me. I just don't understand the terms in this platform and how to put them together, no matter how much I try. Sorry if I wasted your time.

You didn't waste my time...but you do give up easily...(?)
