Let me get your take on this because you're smarter than me. Only asking for brainstorm, not feature request.
How would one go about putting into trade execution logic:
buy on downtick.
sell on uptick.
Initial thought sudo code:
###when trade entry or exit condition is hit, at any resolution, then send to execution which looks at tick resolution
#all this to avoid having a bad market impact
if buy_trade
if tick[-1] < tick[-2]
trade at limit = last price
if sell_trade
if tick[-1] > tick[-2]
trade at limit = last price Idea from:

Hi Foren,
To access tick data, see Ticks. To submit limit orders, see Place Orders.
Best,
Derek Melchin
