Hello, could you please help me with this exit strategy? It’s not generating any exits for me. I want to exit on a close above the three-day High from entry. Here is the full code. Thank you.

// definice
atr5 = AverageTrueRange[5]
indicatorValue = (highestHigh - close) / atr5

// Logika
IF indicatorValue CROSSES OVER 2 AND onmarket = 0 THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF

// exit rules
IF longonmarket THEN
highestexit = Highest[3]
IF close > highestexit THEN
SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF
ENDIF

Hi,

In your exit rule the condition IF close > highestexit THEN will never happen.
Iǜe defined the highestHigh as HHV3 = highest[3](high) because it was not defined.

This should do more or less what you want.

// definice
HHV3 = highest[3](high)
atr5 = AverageTrueRange[5]

indicatorValue = (HHV3 - close) / atr5

// Logika
IF indicatorValue CROSSES OVER 2 AND onmarket = 0 THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF

// exit rules
IF longonmarket and close > HHV3[1] THEN
SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF
