  Hi guys, anybody can explain me why when I am adding a trailing condition in my strategy the platform doesn’t allow me to run the system and when I delete the trailing conditions from the strategy the platform run my strategy?? Thanks

  SET STOP TRAILING is accepted,thiough recommended.

  What error does it return?

  Usually a common mistake is to use TWO different kinds of stop, such as:

  SET STOP LOSS 100 TRAILING 10

  1	SET STOP LOSS 100 TRAILING 10

  which is not allowed, SET STOP LOSS and SET STOP TRAILING cannot be in the same line and cannot be in the same strategy. If they are in the same line an error is reported, while if they are on different lines they are accepted, but the second line always overrides the previous one.

  Hi, this is the code I am using for

  defparam cumulateorders = false //order launch (example) would be set to any other entry conditions //c1 = close>close[1] c2 = close<close[1] //if c1 then //BUY 1 LOT AT MARKET //SET STOP PLOSS 50 //endif if c2 then SELLSHORT 1 LOT AT MARKET SET STOP PLOSS 50 endif //************************************************************************ //trailing stop function trailingstart = 20 //trailing will start @trailinstart points profit trailingstep = 5 //trailing step to move the “stoploss” //reset the stoploss value IF NOT ONMARKET THEN newSL=0 ENDIF //manage long positions IF LONGONMARKET THEN //first move (breakeven) IF newSL=0 AND close-tradeprice(1)>=trailingstart*pipsize THEN newSL = tradeprice(1)+trailingstep*pipsize ENDIF //next moves IF newSL>0 AND close-newSL>=trailingstep*pipsize THEN newSL = newSL+trailingstep*pipsize ENDIF ENDIF //manage short positions IF SHORTONMARKET THEN //first move (breakeven) IF newSL=0 AND tradeprice(1)-close>=trailingstart*pipsize THEN newSL = tradeprice(1)-trailingstep*pipsize ENDIF //next moves IF newSL>0 AND newSL-close>=trailingstep*pipsize THEN newSL = newSL-trailingstep*pipsize ENDIF ENDIF //stop order to exit the positions IF newSL>0 THEN SELL AT newSL STOP EXITSHORT AT newSL STOP ENDIF //************************************************************************ GRAPH newSL as “trailing”

  Always use the ‘Insert PRT Code’ button when putting code in your posts to make it easier for others to read.

  Thank you 🙂

  breakeven = 30 keeppoints = 5 if not onmarket then flag = 0 endif IF longonmarket and close - tradeprice >= Breakeven*pipsize THEN flag = 1 endif if flag then sell at (tradeprice + keeppoints) stop endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

  breakeven = 30 keeppoints = 5   if not onmarket then flag = 0 endif   IF longonmarket and close - tradeprice >= Breakeven*pipsize THEN flag = 1 endif   if flag then sell at (tradeprice + keeppoints) stop endif

  Hi guys, I am new in programming so there is anybody who can help me how to build a breakeven code for short positions ? what do I have to change exactly to make it work for short one ? thank you for your patience.

  MODERATORS EDIT: One post deleted and merged and code tidied up. Topic also moved to correct forum. Please try to be more careful with future posts.

  Replace line 30 with:

  sell at (tradeprice + keeppoints*PipSize) stop

  1	sell at (tradeprice + keeppoints*PipSize) stop

  Long & Short breakeven

  breakeven = 30 * pipsize keeppoints = 5 * pipsize if not onmarket then flag = 0 endif // Long IF longonmarket and close - tradeprice >= Breakeven THEN flag = 1 endif // Short IF shortonmarket and tradeprice - close >= Breakeven THEN flag = 1 endif IF Flag = 1 then IF LongOnMarket THEN sell at (tradeprice + keeppoints) stop ELSIF ShortOnMarket THEN exitshort at (tradeprice - keeppoints) stop ENDIF Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

  breakeven  = 30 * pipsize keeppoints = 5  * pipsize if not onmarket then    flag = 0 endif // Long IF longonmarket and close - tradeprice >= Breakeven THEN    flag = 1 endif // Short IF shortonmarket and tradeprice - close >= Breakeven THEN    flag = 1 endif IF Flag = 1 then    IF LongOnMarket THEN       sell at (tradeprice + keeppoints) stop    ELSIF ShortOnMarket THEN       exitshort at (tradeprice - keeppoints) stop    ENDIF Endif
