In intra-day strategy, how do i access ..

1) price at the bar at which the position was entered? I want to enter a StopLoss in Points as follows -
e.g. stop_loss = close[entry_bar-1] - low[entry_bar-1];

2) the first bar of day - e.g. would like to specify a condition such as "buy at 3rd bar of day"

3) In general, how do i specify an absolute bar index e.g. high(3rd bar of the day).. I found a YTimeClose function that returns price at a specific time and helps, but this would be more elegant to test across systems with different bar intervals.


Would be nice to reference EntryBar and FirstBarOfDay as variables/functions we can use in strategy scripts.

Hi,

1/ You can access this only using the money management script
The QS language is executed before the backtesting process to generate signals. It doesn't have access to trades and equity data.

2/

a = day() != ref(day(), X);

3/
a = day() != ref(day(), X);
b = valuewhen(a, high);

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
