Signals - Track LastTradedPrice

[jimibt]

Definitely loving the new v1.44 Signals addition, this really opens up a lot of possibilities to more closely execute rules with user defined variables for different scenarios - class act.

I'd like to propose an addition to the spec for this functionality. Would it be possible to include a choice to store the LastTradedPrice for the selection?? This would be really useful as it would allow for a direct comparison between the current LTP and the one recorded in the Signals variable. One immediate use-case for this would be to help with pre-race scalping. By being able to record/alter this value based on conditions and then compare at a later stage, one would be able to determine whether the price was modulating inside a narrow range or not and likewise would be able to build a profile of the min and max LPT over time.

The above are just a few immediate scenarios that spring to mind, there are of course many many permutations where this LTP comparison would be very useful.

Anyway, given the current rate of delivery on new functionality, I imagine I'll see this incorporated later this afternoon- lol
