  Hi,

  I’m trying to write exit conditions that either closes the position at close if it is profitable OR closes the positions after N days. How would that look in code?

  Best Regards,
  Sebastian

  If LongOnMarket and (Close - TradePrice(1)) > X then Sell at Market EndIf If ShortOnMarket and (TradePrice(1) – Close) > X then ExitShort at Market EndIf If NOT OnMarket[1] and OnMarket then xStartBar = BarIndex EndIf If BarIndex – xStartBar > X then Sell at Market ExitShort at Market 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
