Quick hasearnings() question

[dfaris]

Hello,
I joined up after lurking for a bit and found this site to be useful. Thank you for having this form.

I have what I hope is a quick question. I'm trying to use hasearnings() in a strategy to sell the day before earnings and only buy my strategy if its a day after earnings or greater.

It seems like selling the day before is working but buying a day after does not seem to be working. This is what I have in thinkscript.
any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

def EarningsBuy = sum(hasearnings()[1]);
def EarningsClose = sum(hasearnings()[-1]);


AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_OPEN, EarningsBuy[1] , open[-1], tickcolor = GetColor(0), arrowcolor = GetColor(0), name = "Long-Buy "+ close);

AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, EarningsClose[-1], open[-1], tickcolor = GetColor(4), arrowcolor = GetColor(4), name = "Earnings-Close ");

why do you have an offset on the variables in the addorders?
I would configure the 1st 2 variables as needed, with the correct offset for use in the addorders.

for testing, use them to trigger Vertical lines , to see when they are triggered.

addverticalline(EarningsBuy, "buy", color.green);

this may help
