PLEASE IGNORE THE QUESTION BELOW.
I FOUND MY PROBLEM.
SORRY ABOUT THE CONFUSION.
*************************************
*************************************
*************************************
I am using daily bars.
I would like to buy at the open and then close the same day at a limit price, [e.g.] open(0)+0.5, but the following code does not do what I intend it to do even when I know the limit price has been touched. I am probably doing something wrong - but if not, does eSignal not recognize that it makes real world sense because there is no ambiquity about which price was touched first [i.e.] the daily bar opening price is always the first price hit?
Strategy.doLong("doLong entry",Strategy.MARKET,Strategy.THISBAR,1); //enter at the open
Strategy.doSell("doSell exit",Strategy.LIMIT,Strategy.THISBAR,1,open(0)+0. 5); //exit at a limit
