    how do i write a code  to take a profit on long when prices moves up 250 pips

    and on short 250 pips and then stop loss on both when prices moves against the trade 250.

    You’ve got two IFs and 4 EndIfs … is that the problem?

    Also please use the <> Insert PRT Code button to add code to this page as then your code will be formatted and also in colour and will then be so much easier to read 🙂

    GraHal is right, your 2 ENDIF at lines 19 and 37 should not be present.
