1. Tks you, I will try your solution after come back home 🙂

hi @fifi743
Can you be a little clearer in what you say, There is a problem of misunderstanding I don’t know if it’s me or you or both of us

When you say that you can put both functions in the same algorithm, I will answer yes because it is just lines of code, however if the long market function is executed first then the short market function will not be executed as a short but as a sale of the first long position,

According to the documentation it is not possible to be long and short at the same time with the same algorithm, when we talk about being long and short at the same time on a market we talk about Hedging (2 opposite positions)

Or am I wrong ?

Would you perhaps have an example of an algorithm to propose for better understanding?

You can see an image capture with an extract of the documentation in French

but how to don’t draw it when we don’t have a trade open :

// Drawing Trailing Stop<br /> IF newSL > 0 Then<br /> TrailingSL = newSL<br /> If OnMarket then<br /> GraphOnPrice TrailingSL coloured(255,0,0) AS “My Tralling Stop”<br /> endif<br /> ELSE<br /> TrailingSL = Undefined<br /> ENDIF

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

// Drawing Trailing Stop IF newSL > 0 Then TrailingSL = newSL If OnMarket then GraphOnPrice TrailingSL coloured(255,0,0) AS “My Tralling Stop” endif ELSE TrailingSL = Undefined ENDIF

Note that really “don’t draw” does not exist. Here you see the exit from this morning (in the coffee-spoiling topic 😉 ) and it is depicted by the green line. So this line changes position because I tell it to, but when the position is exited I stop drawing that green line (and more). Now this line keeps on drawing automatically, but while this seems strange, it is even convenient. See 2nd screenshot. You can easily see where this green line was in action, and can zoom in to it when you want. In my case these are the trailing stop exits (the darker green line). Just learn a bit to utilize this feature. You will see it is quite handy.

Your solution doesn’t seem to work, we’re back to the debugging problem, in this particular example I suspect that the last trailing Stop value remains in memory and the program uses it anyway, even if it is undefined

but it’s ok, we will not lose more time for this graph problem, I will start tomorrow to use more option for traling and why not include the short position in the same time and lest do the result

I guarantee you it works. But with the conditions I described. And notice that you asked for not Graphing when Not OnMarket.

The remainder of that code (snippet) does not work at all, obviously. The Undefined also does not work.

Again I misspoke, your solution Works but not in the way I want, (the way I want to is : Not drawing anything when I am not in a position on the market), I understood that it was not possible to do this, So this is clear
