// Definition of code parameters
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = true// Cumulating positions deactivated
x=1
if not onmarket and time > 080800 and time < 210000 then

BUY 1 PERPOINT AT low[10]+x stop



SELLSHORT 1 PERPOINT AT high[10]-x stop


endif
set stop loss 10

set target profit 100


if longonmarket then
BUY 1 PERPOINT AT 1.0004*positionprice stop

endif

if shortonmarket then
sellshort 1 PERPOINT AT 0.9996*positionprice stop

endif

c1= 0.9996*positionprice
c2=1.0004*positionprice

if close<=c1 and longonmarket then
sell at market
endif

if close>=c2 and shortonmarket then
exitshort at market
endif
```
this is placing only order even price is moved from the original order by 24 pips

I am telling the system to sell or buy in the same direction of the trend by roughly even 4 points move

At lines 9 and 13 you should do some math to choose whether LIMIT or STOP should be applied to any pending order, otherwise they could be entered at market.

I guess you are using this strategy not on a FX pair, since line 6 for currencies should be (though it should ALWAYS be, no matter what instrument you are trading):
```
x=1*pipsize
```
As for your last two lines, I can’t understand thoroughly what they mean, so I’m asking you to better explain your issue.

Your lines like this one for example:
```
BUY 1 PERPOINT AT 1.0004*positionprice stop
```
is buying if price moves 0.04% above the current position price. You are talking in pips in your question not %.
