Strategy.doCover - setting a Stop

[dtrosty]

After opening of a Short position I want to protect it with a Stop. The variable bShortStop is a global variable.
I use:
Strategy.doCover("text", Strategy.STOP, Strategy.THISBAR, null, bShortStop);
For example, bShortStop =50, today's range was High[0]=47.85, Low[0]=47.16, Open[0]=47.75.

Under these condition the Strategy.doCover should not close the short position. But it closed the short position at Open[0]=47.75.

The value of bShortStop is outside the day's range, but I do not use a limit order and do not have to check that the limit order is within the day's range.

What am I doing wrong?

You're just mis-understanding the way strategies work in eSignal. See this thread --> http://forum.esignalcentral.com/show...threadid=11799 for an explanation of what you need to do.

Good luck.
