  Hi,

  I’ve tried your code, including the timeframes, and I think it works as expected…

  (PRT+IB)

  Hi PeterST,
  I’m struggling to get it working. Can you help me with the correct modification?

  This is the last test I did:

  // LONG open dates $myDateL[1] = 20230316 $myDateL[2] = 20230328 $myDateL[3] = 20230411 $myDateL[4] = 20230424 // LONG exit dates $myExitL[1] = 20230321 $myExitL[2] = 20230403 $myExitL[3] = 20230417 $myExitL[4] = 20230428 LastElementL = 4 SLpercent = 2 //2% stop loss // IF Not OnMarket THEN FOR i = 1 TO (LastElementL) //LONG trades IF i <= LastElementL THEN IF Date = $myDateL[i] THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET SET STOP %LOSS SLpercent break ENDIF ENDIF // exit LONG trades IF LongOnMarket THEN FOR i = 1 TO LastElementL IF Date = $myExitL[i] THEN SELL AT MARKET break ENDIF NEXT ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

  // LONG open dates $myDateL[1]  = 20230316 $myDateL[2]  = 20230328 $myDateL[3]  = 20230411 $myDateL[4]  = 20230424 // LONG exit dates $myExitL[1]  = 20230321 $myExitL[2]  = 20230403 $myExitL[3]  = 20230417 $myExitL[4]  = 20230428 LastElementL = 4 SLpercent    = 2             //2%  stop loss // IF Not OnMarket THEN FOR i = 1 TO (LastElementL) //LONG  trades IF i <= LastElementL THEN IF Date = $myDateL[i] THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET SET STOP %LOSS SLpercent break ENDIF ENDIF // exit LONG  trades IF LongOnMarket  THEN FOR i = 1 TO LastElementL IF Date = $myExitL[i] THEN SELL AT MARKET break ENDIF NEXT ENDIF

  Thanks again for your input.

  Thanks for testing the code. We get different results.
  I have PRT+IG, maybe that makes the difference.

  This is the last test I did:

  Hello Fredrik,

  Can you please tell once again what exactly is not working with “the last test you did” ?

  Also, when you receive an error message, then it is good to know what the message is. 😉

  Hi again. it is solved.
  Will run one LONG test and one SHORT test separately, so the orders in the code (same day orders, different directions and close/open) does not cancel out each other. 🙂
