Exact Entry without pending order
Am sorry if there's a thread out there with this question but I couldn't find it myself so here goes.
How do I write code to enter at an exact price without sending pending orders. I would like to share my code but unfortunately it's proprietary so I can't.
Am sure that the code isn't needed though since this is just a general use scenario.
- Coding help
- How can I have a pending order execute at an exact price without the spread difference?
- How can I send my order in pre-specified market price point?
You can't, even with pending orders. The market does not change by just a point. And there can be slippage.
If the market has reached or exceeded your entry price, enter. You are overthinking it.

I understand that I don't mean "exact" exact ,that's impossible, much less in the strategy tester .
I'm just saying for example to enter when price breaks the high of a certain candle, how would such code look like. Actually lemme try to hide as much code as I can and put the code I'm trying below. Ofcourse that code doesn't work at all but just for context I always get the first Alert, but never the second.
Is the problem that mqltick doesn't work in strategy tester or???
