Auto back test

  Coding query

  What code do I require if = I want my current trade to close before another trade is opened? What I am finding in my back testing ‘order list’ is that I get multiple triggers. I only want to trigger a new trade entry once the prior trade has been closed by either my stop or take profit target.

  Thank you

  When you test conditions to enter a trade you should add the keyword ONMARKET to test whether you already have, or don’t have, any open trade

  IF MyConditions AND Not OnMarket THEN BUY/SELLSHORT.... ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF MyConditions AND Not OnMarket THEN    BUY/SELLSHORT.... ENDIF

  also, you may add at the very beginning of your code (where DEFPARAMs need to be located)

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false

  1	DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false

  you can use both.
