Are you talking about trade closure made my stoploss/takeprofit or made by your code’s conditions?

You can set your stoploss/takeprofit to 0 if your trade is less than 3 bars old (for example):
```
IF ONMARKET AND (BarIndex - TradeIndex(1)) >= 3 THEN
 SET TARGET PPROFIT 20
 SET STOP PLOSS 20
ELSE
 SET TARGET PPROFIT 0
 SET STOP PLOSS 0
ENDIF
```
Because PROFIT and LOSS must be set within the first bar, so you need to invalidate them before changing them (when it’s 3 bars old in this example).
