I have coded a strategy in which the opening of a trade is dependent on the whether it crosses the opening price of the previous trade or not. I have used the IMessage method. But what should I do about the first trade to be taken by the strategy? It will not have any previous trade. I want to open it normally and then the rest of the trades should be dependent on the previous trades.

I have put the IMessage method before the onTick method in the code. But the historical testing results of the strategy are the same as the one without the IMessage code. I am attaching the strategy. Kindly help.

I have corrected a mistake that I had made in the above strategy by submitting order opening in IMessage method when it should have been in the onBar method. But even after submitting order opening in onBar method, there is an error regarding the fetching of the opening price of the last order closed.

I have fetched the opening price of the last order closed in the IMessage method but I don't know how to fetch it in the onBar method while submitting a new order opening. The following error is shown in compilation.

In order to avoid such errors before compilation and receive correction advice consider using an IDE for writing your strategies e.g. Eclipse or NetBeans.
