Offset issue....
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:16 pm
Hi,
I've just made me first strategy script, super basic, got it just as I want it, but all entry and exit points need to be offset -1.
I worked out it needs to be done in the plot section but just cannot figure out how to do it.
Any help would really be appreciated,
Many thanks

Apologies if I have pasted the code the wrong way in here, couldn't see another way to share it?
