  HI everyone,

  I am working on a code with cumulative orders. I am able to backtest it but cannot forward test it due to following error (attached).

  Code is: IF c3 THEN SELL Positionsize PERPOINT AT MARKET ENDIF If CountOfPosition < 4 AND TRADEPRICE > increment AND ShortOnMarket THEN SELL positionsize perpoint at market ENDIF // Conditions to exit short positions indicator7 = ExponentialAverage[x](close) indicator8 = ExponentialAverage[y](close) c4 = (indicator7 CROSSES OVER indicator8) IF c4 THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

  Code is:   IF c3 THEN SELL Positionsize PERPOINT AT MARKET ENDIF If CountOfPosition < 4 AND TRADEPRICE > increment AND ShortOnMarket  THEN SELL positionsize perpoint at market ENDIF   // Conditions to exit short positions indicator7 = ExponentialAverage[x](close) indicator8 = ExponentialAverage[y](close) c4 = (indicator7 CROSSES OVER indicator8)   IF c4 THEN EXITSHORT  AT MARKET ENDIF

  Can anyone suggest what i am doing wrong?

  Thank you.

  SELL is the instruction to close BUY orders. If you want to go short on market, use SELLSHORT instead.
