Sometimes you may need to make some comparisons with the current market price in your strategies. The CURRENT_PRICE function extracts the current market price at the time the condition is checked by the expert advisor.
| Syntax | current_price(prev_flag) | |
|---|---|---|
| Parameters | prev_flag (optional) | This object is optional and allows you to tell JedeyeFX to extract the “previous current price” stored in memory from the last conditions evaluation (usually it is the one from the last bar, unless the Trigger Events At New Bars Only input is set to false. Since it is a flag parameter, it means that you can put any alphanumeric char inside in order to activate it or leave empty in order to keep it deactivated. For the sake of interpretation and manual referencing, it is recommended to put PREV or LAST as objects. |
| Single-sided | No | |
