say, i have a simple buy signal from metastock:

signalBuy:=Cross(10,Stoch(Close,9));

when the signalBuy triggered, i'll buy one order manually. wat i need to do is to fill an stop order (in the program provided by my broker of course) the stop price, which is the roughly candle's L price if stoch drops to 5 and submit automatically.

so my question is:
1) how to calculate the stop price which should be calculated only after signalbuy triggered and estimated L if stoch <=5
2) any simple way to fill the stop price in program from my broker and submit automatically. i was told there are some util which will automate form's filling and mouse click but where i can get the stop price which is calculated inside metastock

thanks a head for any possible helpful hints

Does the broker application have an API?  Can you create an interface to their application?  If so, use the MDK to gather the required information from MS and send it via the API to the broker's application.

Getting third party software to emulate moise clicks and send-keys can get a little sloppy and has a tendency to screw things up should another application unexpectedly steal the application focus, such as email programs, IM etc.


Hope this helps.
