Hi

I am trying to code in PRT and when backtesting it is not giving the desired results, as it is NOT buying at the TargetPrice, seems I am not getting it right.

Attached screenshot for reference, where the condition met at Bar 1583 with my TargetPrice to buy at 14737.2, but it is bought at Bar 1585 at a price 14816.5.

My TargetPrice and CloseReferencePrice are also changing for each bar, and BuyBar and CurrentBar are also the same when the code runs for backtesting.

Could please advise how this should be done i.e. Buying at the TargetPrice within the next 5 bars when the C1 condition is met,  with the below script:

// Definition of code parameters
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated
TIMEFRAME(4 hours)

// Variables to store the reference price and flag
ReferencePrice = 0.0
BuyFlag = 0
TargetPrice = 0.0
buybar = 0

// Conditions to enter long positions
indicator1 = Stochastic[10,5](close)
c1 = (indicator1 <= 10)

// Check if the indicator condition (c1) is met and set the reference price
if c1 and BuyFlag=0 then //and IsLastBarUpdate=1 then
ReferencePrice = close
BuyFlag = 1
buybar = barindex
endif

// Calculate the TargetPrice based on the reference price (outside the bar)
if BuyFlag=1 then
TargetPrice = ReferencePrice - (20*POINTSIZE)
endif

// Check if the close price is less than or equal to the TargetPrice
if BuyFlag=1 and barindex-buybar<=5 then
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT TargetPrice LIMIT
endif

// Conditions to exit long positions
indicator2 = Average[3](Stochastic[10,5](close))
c2 = (indicator2 >= 90)

IF c2 THEN
SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Stops and targets
//SET STOP pLOSS 20
//SET TARGET pPROFIT 40
graph TargetPrice as "TargetPrice"
graph ReferencePrice as "CloseRefPrice"
graph buybar as "BuyBar"
graph barindex as "CurrentBarIndex"
graph BuyFlag as "BuyFlag"

Thanks

Harry
