Hi
there is dividends adjustment for indices that is applied at the close time of each market in IG. It can be from 1 point to 50 points sometimes. So if I have a system in 5 min chart with a few positions open that the stop loss and take profits are less than the diviadjustment level, my positions will be closed regardless if I am in profit or loss. I need a code to add the dividends adjustment points to all of my open positions Can anyone help me with this? The tricky part is that if I am short on market the target should change right before dividends adjustment eg 15:55 but the stop should change after dividends adjustment eg 16:05. And for all long positions the stop loss should change right before eg 15:55 and target right after .
cheers

The adjustment points are always deducted from the indice, for example if a buy positions open at 12000 with target of 100 and stops if 200 and dividends adjustment is 50 then the new target is 12050 and new stop is 11750.

```
Once ExDividendDate = 000000
Once ExDividendLevel = 00

If Date = ExDividendDate then
If ShortOnMarket and CurrentTime = 155500 then
MyTarget = MyTarget - ExDividendLevel
ElsIf ShortOnMarket and CurrentTime = 160500 then
MyStop = MyStop + ExDividendLevel
EndIf
If LongOnMarket and CurrentTime = 155500 then
MyStop = MyStop - ExDividendLevel
ElsIf LongOnMarket and CurrentTime = 160500 then
MyTarget = MyTarget + ExDividendLevel
EndIf
EndIf
```
Hi @Amin1233
You will first have to know and enter the ex-Dividend dates and the corresponding Dividend levels and then you can supplement the code of your trading system with, for example, the code above:
