  Can someone help me with this: I want to buy as soon as the current price is 3 pips higher than the high of the previous candlestick. How can I can access the current price in the middle of the current candlestick.

  IF CLOSE>HIGH+0.0003 THEN
  BUY AT MARKET
  ENDIF

  The best you can do is to set a pending order at the price you want your order to be launched at market:

  if mycondition then BUY 1 SHARE AT HIGH+3*pipsize STOP endif

  1 2 3

  if mycondition then BUY 1 SHARE AT HIGH+3*pipsize STOP endif

  Pending “stop” or “limit” orders need to be set at each new candle, because they expire after one candle, so you have to be sure that your “mycondition” in my example if still true if your are still not on market.
