.when using the buy zone the actual open doesn't always match the opening candle. Use the actual open correct?
=============================================
It depends on your platform/charting package.
TradeStation uses a consolidated data stream which means premarket orders can MESS UP the open of the first candle. THAT COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS YEARS AGO!
Now they have the DAILYOPEN FIELD for your chart indicators to use, thanks to you know who.
So to answer your question, you need to use the actual open price to calculate the long and short triggers.
