Hi,

Would be possible to create a code line that if the price is under my entry points, about 5 or 10 points, then the contract is sold, and if the points are again above of my previous entry price or equal, then I would buy a contract again.

For example: I start buying a contract for example on 12220 points, and the points are decreasing till 12215 points, then the contract would be sold. Later the system detects that the points reaches my previous entry points (12220), then I buy the contract again, is possible to write this in pro real?

Thanks

Yes it is possible. You can place a BUY STOP order at your last known entry price level:
```
test = tradeprice(1)>0

if not longonmarket and test and close<tradeprice(1) then 
 buy 1 contract at tradeprice(1) stop 
endif
```
Of course the tradeprice level should be far enough from the current close, for the broker to allow it. Bear in mind that STOP order must be placed again each candle, because of their 1 bar expiration.
