  Hiya,

  Not a terrible idea here. You should probably separate indicator variables for long and short entries though.

  Obviously a good amount of work needs to be done here to make it a viable strategy in PRT (dynamic stops and targets, more filtering, proper position size management, time management etc) but for now I’ve done a little tweak for you here. The optimization may make up for PRT’s lack of multi-position management tools such as multiple stops and limits – which is what I believe you were after, @Abz.

  Note this is just very quick and rough – not for production – but do continue tweaking. This version was wrapped around EUR_USD H1 and has at least a year of spinning its wheels (take the equity curve with a pinch of salt). I have also changed timezone for my locale so do change the times to your own locale.

  Best,

  M

  Question.

  Why do you want to add more shares to a bad position.

  It should be better to buy more shares when you are+
