sellShortStopLimit is not defined

[ratherBgolfing]

using the instruction:

if(getCurrentBarIndex() == 0) sellShortStopLimit(vTicker,vPosition,nStopLevel,nS topLevel-2);

gets the error message:

Reference Error: sellShortStopLimit is not defined

Hello ratherBgolfing,

This function may not be compatible with all brokers. Which broker are you attempting to use it with?

[ratherBgolfing]

sorry, should have said

just using with eSignal Paper Broker

[ratherBgolfing]

using:

sellShortMarket
sellMarket
buyMarket
buyStopLimit
sellStopLimit
closePosition
cancelOrder


they all work fine in eSignal Paper Broker...

still can not get sellShortStopLimit to work

ideas??? it is an eSignal command so one would assume it should work within eSignal?

Hello ratherBgolfing,

I'm receiving the same error. This must have gotten broken in one of the 7.9 releases. It's not working in 7.9 build 719 either. I'm pretty sure it worked prior to that. At any rate, I've submitted a report to our development team. It is EDL #21982 for future reference. Thank you for reporting the error.

Any updates on this subject?

I just encountered the same error, so I searched this forum for an answer, and I found this thread.

This thread is from 2006, talking about eSignal 7.9

Its 2008 now, and we're on eSignal 10

Is this ever going to fixed...?

[eSignal_JasonK]

Hello Axiom,

Yes, this will be fixed in one of the up coming versions this year. Hopefully for 10.2 or 10.3.

Thank you

Thank you for your reply Jason. I’m looking forward to it.

I have a hunch that I might be able to get it working in the mean time. This is a long shot - but in the case that the function is only mislabeled within the interpreter; would it be possible for you to tell me which string the interpreter is actually comparing for when it parses the script?
