Hi there, I have an indicator which paints horizontal lines at the open, high, and low of the previous day on the current days chart. I was wondering how to go about referencing a price point in relation to one of the lines. For example: I want to go long 10 pips above the high and short 10 pips below the low. I've been trying to find a way to set it to buy when price hits "indicator" mode 1 +10 pips. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help,

The fast way is to use the mql icon, import the indicator and add the 10 pips there. The long way is to use the indicator builder and create a new indicator that shows the line + 10 pips, then import it into the strategy builder.
Most likelly your ea will turn to be a multi timeframe ea since your lines will come from different timeframes so just remember that you cannot backtest it in mt4.
