Remarks

You cannot historically back-test the results of orders place into the market with RunCommandOnLastBar.

Note: If the Update value intra-bar check box is enabled in an Indicator that calls the reserved word ’RunCommand’, it could execute the command line instructions or MACRO on every tick, this is probably not what you are intending.

Examples

Run the ’.CustBuyMarket’ MACRO if time is 10:00am and the Close price is greater than the Open price.

If Time = 1000 AND Close > Open Then
Value1=RunCommandOnLastBar(".CustBuyMarket MSFT, 500");

Run the function three times if Condition1 is TRUE. Each instruction set can contain one or more command sets.

If Condition1 Then Begin
Value1=RunCommandOnLastBar(".NWS");
Value1=RunCommandOnLastBar(".BuyLimit MSFT, 500 ;; .NewChart;; MSFT");
Value1=RunCommandOnLastBar(".BuyLimit DELL, 500 ;; .NewChart;; DELL");
End;
