  Hi,

  I created a very easy strategy for PRT

  3x long entries 1xSL

  // ===== PARAMETERS ===== emaPeriod = 30 // // ===== INDICATORS ===== ema30 = ExponentialAverage[emaPeriod](close) // ===== TIME FILTER (Berlin 14:00-18:00) ===== tradeTime = (time >= 140000 AND time <= 180000) // ===== ENTRY CONDITION ===== crossAbove = close crosses over ema30 // ===== RESET WHEN FLAT ===== IF NOT longonmarket THEN secondEntryTaken = 0 thirdEntryTaken = 0 ENDIF // ===== FIRST ENTRY ===== IF NOT longonmarket THEN IF tradeTime AND crossAbove THEN entry1 = close // Levels for averaging entries entry2Trigger = entry1 * 0.975 // -2.5% slTotal = entry1 * 0.90 // -10% stop BUY 0.05 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF ENDIF // ===== SECOND ENTRY ===== IF longonmarket AND secondEntryTaken = 0 THEN IF close <= entry2Trigger THEN entry2 = close secondEntryTaken = 1 // Third entry trigger (another -2.5% drop) entry3Trigger = entry2 * 0.975 BUY 0.05 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF ENDIF // ===== THIRD ENTRY ===== IF longonmarket AND secondEntryTaken = 1 AND thirdEntryTaken = 0 THEN IF close <= entry3Trigger THEN entry3 = close thirdEntryTaken = 1 BUY 0.05 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF ENDIF // ===== EXIT LOGIC ===== IF longonmarket THEN // Determine how many positions are open and compute average price IF thirdEntryTaken = 1 THEN avgPrice = (entry1 + entry2 + entry3) / 3 ELSIF secondEntryTaken = 1 THEN avgPrice = (entry1 + entry2) / 2 ELSE avgPrice = entry1 ENDIF // Combined +3% target based on average price tpCombined = avgPrice * 1.03 // ---- TAKE PROFIT ---- IF close >= tpCombined THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF // ---- STOP LOSS (based on first entry) ---- IF close <= slTotal THEN SELL AT MARKET 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 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86

  (very new o the platform). Somehow it does not open any trade. I just want to try this strategy on the tester and go from it…Any help is highly appreciated!

  Try below (0.05 Contracts is below minimum allowed)…

  BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET

  1	BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET

  0.5 Contracts may be okay also.

  Thank you very much for your help guys, it was much appreciated! I just have another question regarding the strategy above. How difficult it will be to remove the stop loss and add to the (SL) level an Hedge order with the double quantity of lots previously open? In this case I will also need an averaging Take Profit that consider all open positions…Just an idea for now. Thx in advance for your inputs.
