Combine manual trading with algo

  Hello everyone!
  Since I am very bad at keeping my plan when I trade manually, I would like to have an algo that helps me with that.

  Example: When I see a good setup. I want to go long and I know my Stop and Target. I write down my stoploss and target in my algon. And the algo does the rest.

  After I type SL=40p/TP=80p and startded the algo I want it to take 4 contracts.

  When it has 20p profit from entry, it should close 1 contract. My profit will be 20p/4contracts=5. Then my new SL will be 45p.

  f the price goes in my favor to 40p, it will close 1 more contract. My profit will then be 20p/3 contracts=6.66p
  Then my new SL = 51.6 From entry. and so on until the price reaches my SL or TP.

  It would help me a lot.

  Hello, here is a possible solution.
  Once you want to enter the market then you can start the system. The best thing to do is to do it at a low timeframe so that it starts as soon as possible.

   

  defparam cumulateorders=false once check=1 if not onmarket and check=1 then buy 4 contracts at market set stop ploss 40 set target pprofit 80 endif if onmarket and not onmarket[1] then check=0 buyprice=tradeprice newsl=buyprice-40*pipsize tp1=buyprice+20*pipsize tp2=buyprice+40*pipsize tp3=buyprice+80*pipsize firstlevel=0 secondlevel=0 endif if onmarket and close > tp1 and firstlevel=0 then firstlevel=1 sell 1 contract at market set stop ploss 45 newsl=buyprice-45*pipsize endif if onmarket and close>tp2 and secondlevel=0 then secondlevel=1 sell 1 contract at market set stop ploss 51.6 newsl=buyprice-51.6*pipsize endif //graphonprice newsl coloured("red") //graphonprice tp1 coloured("blue") //graphonprice tp2 coloured("green") //graphonprice tp3 coloured("orange")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38

  defparam cumulateorders=false once check=1   if not onmarket and check=1 then buy 4 contracts at market set stop ploss 40 set target pprofit 80 endif   if onmarket and not onmarket[1] then check=0 buyprice=tradeprice newsl=buyprice-40*pipsize tp1=buyprice+20*pipsize tp2=buyprice+40*pipsize tp3=buyprice+80*pipsize firstlevel=0 secondlevel=0 endif   if onmarket and close > tp1 and firstlevel=0 then firstlevel=1 sell 1 contract at market set stop ploss 45 newsl=buyprice-45*pipsize endif   if onmarket and close>tp2 and secondlevel=0 then secondlevel=1 sell 1 contract at market set stop ploss 51.6 newsl=buyprice-51.6*pipsize endif   //graphonprice newsl coloured("red") //graphonprice tp1 coloured("blue") //graphonprice tp2 coloured("green") //graphonprice tp3 coloured("orange")

  Thank you very much. Exactly what I was looking for. Could you please help me with a code that can go short?

  I’ve tried, but can’t get it to work.

  You can manually pause the algo when needed and restart it later, but be careful with position sizes and potential conflicts. A simple button-based intervention might work for quick manual adjustments.
