    x=close[1]

    I want to buy when price cross over x+30, x+60, x+90 and so on only one contact at each price

    I tried this code, but this is buying more than one contract a each price(when price retracement happens)

    if not onmarket then
buy  at close[1}+1 limit
endif

if onmarket then
buy at tradeprice+30 stop
endif

    what is the correct code to buy only contact at tradeprice+30 when price moves in my favour

    It continuously buy new order because if your are already above the price you ask, the order is triggering automatically, so you have to check first if you are below the next +30 points step and place your pending order:

    if onmarket and close<tradeprice+30 then
 buy at tradeprice+30 stop
endif

if not onmarket and  c22 or c222 then
sellshort  at market
endif


if onmarket and PositionPerf>= 0.001 and close<tradeprice-30  then
sellshort  at tradeprice(0)-30 stop

endif

    I am running the above code now, I will update the results, I expect it to place only 1 order at 30 points rise on the market

    @Fran55

    With percentage of price, you can try with this code snippet:

    if onmarket and close<tradeprice*1.01 then
 buy at tradeprice*1.01 stop 
endif

    I want to try only on

    initial order at price x=0

    then on x+30, x+60 etc

     

    the problem I am facing is system by first at x =0

    next orders is placed when price is crossing over x=30, then price come below x+30 and crosses over x+30 another other is placed

    if want to place 4 orders

    one order is placed at x=0

    then the remaining at x+30 when price is crossed over x+30 the bear in mind that I am trading in 2 seconds time frame

    It should never trade the same level because it always uses the last trade open price to place the next order at +30 points. It works, I just made the test.

    defparam cumulateorders=true 

if not onmarket and close>close[1] then 
buy at market
endif 

if onmarket and close<tradeprice+30 then
buy at tradeprice+30 stop
endif

set target  profit 41.6

    code seems to be working partially, I have added the target profit 41.6 then it skipped some orders

    You should check it visually on the price chart to understand why an order was not set at some steps.

    I think that your condition is not correctly formatted, try with:

    GRAPH onmarket and  (close<tradeprice+25 OR close[1]<tradeprice+25)
