Hello, why here compare yesterday's entry with current position?

Why we don't compare data["entry_signal"].iloc[index] instead of iloc[index-1]?
Hi Daniel,
We have set the entry_signal as 1 when pattern_signal is 100. As explained in the previous notebook (Section 3 Unit 1), pattern_signal of 100 indicates a bullish marubozu formation.
This means, the entry_signal is set to 1 wherever there’s a bullish marubozu formation.
The entry condition is as follows:
We will enter the trade at the Open of the current candle if the previous candle is a bullish marubozu. This means, if yesterday's candle is a bullish marubozu we will enter at today's Open.
Therefore, we are simply checking if the previous candle is a bullish marubozu and that there are no current positions. After checking this we can enter a trade.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Rushda
Yes, very clear! Thanks Rushda!
