  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  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).
