  • How to get the current trading price, not the H, L, C, O

    For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get the current market trading price, I can get the current and previous bar High, Low, Open and Close but just cant find the current price

    the below works but how does one get the current price,

    CurrentHigh = getValue( "High", 0);
    CurrentLow = getValue( "Low", 0);

    getValue( barType [, barIndex ][, numBars ][, Symbol ] )
    barType Required. String for type of value to retrieve: "open", "high", "low", "close", "time", "rawtime", "volume", "oi", "year", "month", "day", "hour", "minute", "second"
    ???

      It's actually even easier than that, close(0) is where the last trade took place, that goes for when the market is closed and for when prices are streaming. The current high is high(0) and the current low is low(0).

        Thanks for that, I was scratching my head thinking why does it work sometimes and not other times, all sorted now, I test for both to make sure i have a value to use
