  why I set the system to start trading if barindex > 100 but it keeps starting trade from the first candle???

  where’s the problem??

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False RSII = RSI[5](close) MA = Average[100](close) //long long = (BarIndex > 100 and RSII <= 30 and close > MA) short = (BarIndex > 100 and RSII >= 70 and close < MA) if long then buy 1 contracts at market endif //short if short then sellshort 1 contracts at market endif //exit SET STOP PTRAILING 50

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False   RSII = RSI[5](close) MA = Average[100](close)   //long long = (BarIndex > 100 and RSII <= 30 and close > MA) short = (BarIndex > 100 and RSII >= 70 and close < MA) if long then buy 1 contracts at market endif   //short if short then sellshort 1 contracts at market endif         //exit   SET STOP PTRAILING 50

  Try below, the default preload bars is 200

  Let us know how you get on?

  DEFPARAM Preloadbars = 0

  1	DEFPARAM Preloadbars = 0

  PS I guess we can expect a few more WHY’s from you? 🙂 Catchy and memorable username!  🙂

  Couldn’t resist a tweak … tried a few and ended up at below to keep it simple.

  Results attached with  spread = 4.

  Need to do some Walk Forward testing, but I’m setting it going on Demo Forward Test as is anyway.

  thanks for your advice, but i have another problem

  i supposed it will buy a contract at the first bar but it didn’t.

  WHY?

  once trend = 0 IF NOT LongOnMarket AND trend = 0 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET trend = 1 ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  once trend = 0     IF NOT LongOnMarket AND trend = 0 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET trend = 1 ENDIF

  Try your code without “NOT LONGONMARKET”.

  If you want to buy on first bar of the strategy, try with “if barindex<=1”
