So you mean to say that I can identify the trigger visually, and click the buy button in the amibroker window, and it would send the orders to NOW. And are you sure I can do this with NOW? I dont want to go to NEST trader as I dont know how stable it is.
If what you have shown in the pic is right, then it should be simple to apply. I will look into the Nest plus plugin.
Thanks again.
One more question... does Nest Plus it have a place where I can punch in my buy price, after the trade is executed, so that it will calculate my profit target and sl levels and send orders accordingly?
Sumo, you seem to have got this like "He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree". The Buy/Sell button is provided by an afl. The Nest trading api only provides a PlaceOrder() function. This function would be called by the AFL whenever the Buy or Sell button is clicked. The AFL function would fill in the PlaceOrder parameters as appropriate. It could even place multiple orders such as for a corresponding stop/target depending on the AFL logic. As a retail trader, you would have to switch to NOW to confirm the order(s).
So... Nest Plus (the trading API part) has no place where you can punch in anything.
Also, it should have been trivial to calculate profit, and other post order actions. Alas, an AmiBroker's AFL cannot; you would have to resort to some programming in another language. The reason is so silly and trivial, and entirely Omnesys's bad design. Fortunately, it is simple for them to fix. In a separate thread, I am dissecting that section of the API and hope to outline why it cannot be done and how it can be corrected.
