I am writing an EOD MM script that add to an existing position if today's close is lower than the entry price.

[OnEndPeriod]-->

if(close[0]<pos.EntryPrice)
{
Functions.AddLongPosition(pos.Symbol, shares,Orders.CloseMarketOrder() );
}

This enters the trade Tommorow. Is it possible to scale-in at Today's close?

Best Answer

It enters a trade depending on your trading system settings.

To scale-in at today's close, use:
Orders.CloseMarketOrder(-1, 5) // Valid for 5 days
