Get the time of last Stop Loss (not bars ago)

  Hi

  I want to avoid a new entry if last trade triggered a stop loss and it happened less than 10 minuttes ago.

  How can I program that?

  It depend on which time frame the code is running and if you have several ways of exiting a running trade… (if there is no instruction to get that exact time)

  The code is on 1 minute timeframe and there are other ways to exit the trade also. But I want only the stop loss give the break of 10 minuttes.  Here is a simplified version:

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False

  // Conditions to enter long positions
  timeframe(1 minutes)
  indicator1 = Average[1](Stochastic[9,3](close))
  c93lav = (indicator1 <= 23)
  indicator2 = Average[1](Stochastic[60,10](close))
  c6010hoej = (indicator2 >= 80)

  IF c93lav AND c6010hoej THEN
  BUY 1 SHARES AT MARKET
  ENDIF

  // Conditions to exit long positions
  timeframe(1 minutes)
  EMA200 = ExponentialAverage[200](close)
  c3 = (EMA200 – 5 >= close)
  IF c3 THEN
  SELL AT MARKET
  ENDIF

  // Stops and targets
  SET STOP pLOSS 4.7
  SET TARGET pPROFIT 5.8

  Here you have an example to control exit:

  // =========================== // Example: NO entry before x minutes after loss // =========================== // ----- General settings DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false x = 10 once exitTypeSL=0 // ----- Setup Long (example) atr = averagetruerange[14](close) sma5 = average[5](close) sma60 = average[60](close) setupLong = sma5 crosses over sma60 if not onmarket and setupLong and ((bars > x and exitTypeSL) or exitTypeSL=0) then SL=close-2*atr TP=close+3*atr buy 1 contract at market set stop price SL set target price TP endif if not onmarket and onmarket[1] then if strategyprofit>strategyprofit[1] then exitTypeSL=0 bars=0 else exitTypeSL=1 bars=1 endif elsif not onmarket and exitTypeSL then bars=bars+1 elsif onmarket then bars=0 endif // =========================== // Graphs for monitoring // =========================== GRAPH bars COLOURED("blue") GRAPH x coloured("red") GRAPHONPRICE sma5 COLOURED("fuchsia") GRAPHONPRICE sma60 COLOURED("orange") GRAPHONPRICE SL COLOURED("red") GRAPHONPRICE TP COLOURED("green")

  At first i thought of the same simple solution as Ivan posted just above, but then i though about a more sophisticated solution that seems not working any better than the simple one… If Someone knows why this kind of solution works well in Probuilder as an indicator, but not in probacktest…

  @LucasBest

  In ProBuilder, the code is triggered on every tick, whereas in ProBackTest the code is only triggered on the close…
