MMScript - Exit at the close of a bar

MMScript - Exit at the close of a bar

I am testing a gap fill based trading system. The buy rule was rather easy - buy at the open of next bar when gapdown() function is 1.

I was successful at exiting at the open of the next bar(of the bar that closes the gap).

However I want to exit at the close of the bar that closes the gap (instead of next day open).

How do I do this through MM Script?

Hi,

When creating your order using the MM script, simply specify the "-1" as "orderLag" to buy at the close of the signal's bar.
Orders.CloseMarketOrder(-1, 5)
