I wasn&#039;t able to get Open entries, only OpenFilter (after Bar Closing). I think Component[0] and [1] which control buying and selling need to have Value set after the if about what slot it is. If it&#039;s Open, they should be drUp and drDn, the price drawn on the chart; if it&#039;s OpenFilter, they should be adUp and adDn (1 and 0 to allow entry). Then the same for Close and CloseFilter if clauses.<br />I got it to give signals with:<br /></p><div class="codebox"><pre><code>      // Sets the Component&#039;s type
      if (slotType == SlotTypes.Open)
      {
          Component[0].Value = drDn;  // set Value here
          Component[1].Value = drUp;
          if (IndParam.ListParam[0].Text == &quot;Buy if the X bar is Lowest Close&quot;)

...
          if (slotType == SlotTypes.OpenFilter)      
          {
               Component[0].Value = adDn;  // set Value here
               Component[1].Value = adUp;

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Glad that worked out.<br />Shows ambiguous -- this happens when the indicator gives a Buy and Sell in the same bar. There are a few cases where this happens, I&#039;ve found sometimes it makes sense. I&#039;ve found for my indicators that look for a &quot;higher high&quot; or &quot;lower low&quot;, this could happen if the current bar is much taller, like breaking out of a narrow sideways range. Then, the same bar would be making a new high and new low at the same time. I find these a lot for example after NY closes and as Australia opens.</p>]]></content>
