setting exits on a strategy

[yodajudge]

Ive been tinkering with the cci_strategy.efs and was wondering how i can adjust the strategy to buy on the close of the bar and have an exit of +1.5 points for longs with a stop of -1.5 points. For shorts an exit of -1.5 points with a stop of +1.5 points.
So on a bar that closes more than 1.5 points above or below my entry i want the strategy to use the 1.5 points when it calculates the results not the close of the bar.
I dont know if this is possible but if it is i know this is the place to find the answer
Thanks

It is possible...

You simply have to order your strategy in the proper manner - like below...

function main()
{

do any calculations...

Test for Stops

Test for profits

Test for New Entries

return any values
}

An example of this is...

var EntryPrice = 0;
var StopPrice = 0;
var PTPrice = 0;

function main()
{
//  Calc any indicators.....

//  Test for Stops...
  if ((Strategy.isLong()) && (low() <= StopPrice) ){
   Strategy.doSell("Long Stop Exit", Strategy.LIMIT, Strategy.THISBAR, StopPrice);
  }
  if ((Strategy.isShort()) && (high() >= StopPrice) ){
   Strategy.doCover("Short Stop Exit", Strategy.LIMIT, Strategy.THISBAR, StopPrice);
  }

//  Test for Profits...
  if ((Strategy.isLong()) && (high() >= PTPrice ) ){
   Strategy.doSell("Long Stop Exit", Strategy.LIMIT, Strategy.THISBAR, PTPrice );
  }
  if ((Strategy.isShort()) && (low() <= PTPrice ) ){
   Strategy.doCover("Short Stop Exit", Strategy.LIMIT, Strategy.THISBAR, PTPrice );
  }

//----------------------------------
//  Test for Entries...
  if ((!Strategy.isInTrade()) && (Long Entry Signal) ){
   Strategy.doLong("Long Entry", Strategy.MARKET, Strategy.NEXTBAR);
  PTPrice = open(1) + 1.50;
  StopPrice = open(1) - 1.50;
  }
  if ((!Strategy.isInTrade()) && (Short Entry Signal) ){
   Strategy.doShort("ShortEntry", Strategy.MARKET, Strategy.NEXTBAR);
  PTPrice = open(1) - 1.50;
  StopPrice = open(1) + 1.50;
  }

} 

Hope this helps...
