Hello This is my first attempt at creating an automated strategy! The idea of the strategy is to only take trades between 9:00-13:00 (London time). And to only take trades with the current trend. I have been using a version of this when trading manually for the last couple of months. I don’t know how to make the bot look at different time aspects,so this one is only made in 15 min. When i trade it manually i take in consideration of the 200 MA on the daily and don’t take trades on the wrong side of the 200 MA, but i don’t know how to add that into the automated system. It definitely needs some tweaking, maybe someone can make something good out if it!

At line 27

c12 = (close > average[200,0](close))

and add C12 to your conditions at line 28 the reverse at line 43:

c13 = (close < average[200,0](close))

and add C13 to your conditions at line 44.

changed the SL TP and got a better return without any big changes to drawdown or time in market.

You could try adding a trailing stop.

For the trailing stop I suggest to use the code from lines 17 to 56 at this link https://www.prorealcode.com/blog/trading/complete-trailing-stop-code-function/.
