Create code for a breakout system

  Hello,

  I would need some help to create the code for a breakout system. If I would like to go long/short the cable after it have created a 2h-range between 8-10 in the morning and then exit 24 hours later.
  Stoploss and entry in the other direction should be at the same level.

  I´m learning how to code right now but are not good enough to create this yet…Would be really happy if anyone could help!

  Thanks!

  Assuming for example you use the 15m timeframe, something like this?

  defparam cumulateorders=0 once RangeHigh=10000000 once RangeLow=0 If time=100000 then RangeHigh=Highest[8](high) RangeLow=Lowest[8](low) endif If Time=PositionTime then sell at market exitshort at market endif if time>100000 if close>RangeHigh and onmarket=0 then buy 1 lot at market PositionTime=Time set stop loss close-rangelow endif if close<RangeLow and onmarket=0 then sellshort 1 lot at market set stop loss rangehigh-close PositionTime=Time endif endif

  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

  defparam cumulateorders=0   once RangeHigh=10000000 once RangeLow=0   If time=100000 then RangeHigh=Highest[8](high) RangeLow=Lowest[8](low) endif   If Time=PositionTime then sell at market exitshort at market endif   if time>100000 if close>RangeHigh and onmarket=0 then buy 1 lot at market PositionTime=Time set stop loss close-rangelow endif if close<RangeLow and onmarket=0 then sellshort 1 lot at market set stop loss rangehigh-close PositionTime=Time endif endif
