Which is CLOSE[0] when candle closes

  Hi all,

  I am getting confused and can’t get my code to work 🙂

  Let’s say TF is ‘1 minute’. Please look at the attached document 🙂

  When the current one minute candle closes, are we in case1 or case 2 ?

  Imagine I want to place an order at the open of the next candle (not yet displayed on graph … )

  shall I write … If Close[0] < Low[1], i.e Case 2,  or If Close[1] < Low[2]  … i.e. Case 1 ?

  I could have asked … what triggers the candle index shift ? Closing of current candle, or opening of the following ?

   

  thks,

  Case 2.

  Just use BUY or SELLSHORT, the trade will open immediately, there’s  no need to use old keyword NEXTBAROPEN.

  The candle identified by [0], or nothing, is the last closed candle, which is the current candle until the next one closes.
