    Hello guys!

    First of all im sorry if there is a thread of this topic. If there is could you please link it? I cant find the search option.

    Now to my question:

    I would love if someone can help me to write a backtest code for example buy gbpjpy 12:00 and close at 15:00

    more specific:

    Monday-friday: buy @ 12:00 – sell position @ 15:00

    I hope you guys could spare a minute or two to help me out.

    Many thanks in advance!

    To buy you have to use BUY, not sell. Exitshort is to exit short trades, to exit Long trades you have to use SELL, instead.

    Correct IF…ENDIF form is:

    if time=140000 THEN
   EXITSHORT AT MARKET  //this line must be separate from the others
endif

    CharlieByrd – Please use the ‘Insert PRT Code’ button when putting code in your future posts as it makes it far easier for others to read and understand any code posted in the forums.

    I have tidied up your post for you 🙂
