help with break-even code as a second position and second exit

  Hello

  help with break-even code as a second position and second exit

  I have conditions to go long and conditions to go short and I have exit conditions which is a stop loss and take profit but what i would like to try and do, If the take profit is activated is to have a second contract (pound per point) which would have a break-even at entry and a second exit condition to specifically for the second contract (pound per point).   C3 and C6 Should be the exit for the second contract    I would like this to happen if the TP is hit not before

  I have seen and read (Breakeven code for your automated trading strategy) but I do not know how to implement it

  Hopefully I’ve explained it well enough 2 contracts one gets sold at a Take profit the second one is allowed to continue until the macd crosses or break even is hit

  // Definition of code parameters DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated // Conditions to enter long positions indicator1 = CALL HLAroon[70] c1 = (indicator1 > 0) indicator2 = CALL HLAroon[19] c2 = (indicator2 CROSSES OVER 0) IF c1 AND c2 THEN BUY 2 PERPOINT AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit long positions indicator3 = MACDline[6,19,9](close) indicator4 = ExponentialAverage[9](MACDline[6,19,9](close)) c3 = (indicator3 CROSSES UNDER indicator4) IF NOT ShortOnMarket AND c3 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to enter short positions indicator5 = CALL HLAroon[70] c4 = (indicator5 < 0) indicator6 = CALL HLAroon[19] c5 = (indicator6 CROSSES UNDER 0) IF NOT LongOnMarket AND c4 AND c5 THEN SELLSHORT 2 PERPOINT AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit short positions indicator7 = MACDline[6,19,9](close) indicator8 = ExponentialAverage[9](MACDline[6,19,9](close)) c6 = (indicator7 CROSSES OVER indicator8) IF c6 THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF // Stops and targets : Enter your protection stops and profit targets here St = ROUND((AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*2) Tp = ROUND((AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*1.5) SET STOP LOSS St SET TARGET PROFIT Tp

  i have been trying with the Breakeven code but i find it hard to do what i want,

   

  On the second position I would like it to exit with an indicator after Break even has been activated

  That one above is wrong sorry i’ve tried it this way it below but it’s still not right

  defparam cumulateorders = false startBreakeven = Tp //how much pips/points in gain to activate the breakeven function?

  I’ll try and explain what I’m doing better I want to buy or sell two lots or contracts or pounds per points,

  1. with a take profit condition for 1 lot      (AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*1.5)
  2. with a stop loss condition  for 2 lots      (AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*2)
  3. with a break-even condition  for 1 lot     after take profit is hit
  4. With a exit condition                                 to let the 2nd lot run for more profit

  Below is all the code that I have for this and is not in working condition I’ve

  defparam cumulateorders = false startBreakeven = 30 //how much pips/points in gain to activate the breakeven function? PointsToKeep = 5 //how much pips/points to keep in profit above of below our entry price when the breakeven is activated (beware of spread) // Conditions to enter long positions 2 lots indicator1 = AroonUp[19] indicator2 = AroonDown[19] c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER indicator2) // Conditions to exit 1st Long positions breakeven should be Activated at this point Tp = ROUND((AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*1.5) // Conditions to exit 2nd Long positions should be the average from entry candel indicator2 = MACDline[6,19,9](close) indicator3 = ExponentialAverage[9](MACDline[6,19,9](close)) c2 = (indicator2 CROSSES UNDER indicator3) // Conditions stop loss for 2 lots Long positions should be the average from entry candel St = ROUND((AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*2) // Conditions for breakeven Long positions if c1 then BUY 2 LOT AT MARKET SET STOP PLOSS st endif //reset the breakevenLevel when no trade are on market IF NOT ONMARKET THEN breakevenLevel=0 ENDIF // --- BUY SIDE --- //test if the price have moved favourably of "startBreakeven" points already IF LONGONMARKET AND close-tradeprice(1)>=startBreakeven*pipsize THEN //calculate the breakevenLevel breakevenLevel = tradeprice(1)+PointsToKeep*pipsize ENDIF //place the new stop orders on market at breakevenLevel IF breakevenLevel>0 THEN SELL 1 LOT AT breakevenLevel STOP ENDIF // --- end of BUY SIDE ---

  defparam cumulateorders = false   startBreakeven = 30 //how much pips/points in gain to activate the breakeven function? PointsToKeep = 5 //how much pips/points to keep in profit above of below our entry price when the breakeven is activated (beware of spread)   // Conditions to enter long positions 2 lots indicator1 = AroonUp[19] indicator2 = AroonDown[19] c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER indicator2)   // Conditions to exit 1st Long positions breakeven should be Activated at this point Tp = ROUND((AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*1.5)   // Conditions to exit 2nd Long positions should be the average from entry candel indicator2 = MACDline[6,19,9](close) indicator3 = ExponentialAverage[9](MACDline[6,19,9](close)) c2 = (indicator2 CROSSES UNDER indicator3)   // Conditions stop loss for 2 lots Long positions should be the average from entry candel St =  ROUND((AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*2)   // Conditions for breakeven Long positions if c1 then BUY 2 LOT AT MARKET SET STOP PLOSS st endif   //reset the breakevenLevel when no trade are on market IF NOT ONMARKET THEN breakevenLevel=0 ENDIF   // --- BUY SIDE --- //test if the price have moved favourably of "startBreakeven" points already IF LONGONMARKET AND close-tradeprice(1)>=startBreakeven*pipsize THEN //calculate the breakevenLevel breakevenLevel = tradeprice(1)+PointsToKeep*pipsize ENDIF   //place the new stop orders on market at breakevenLevel IF breakevenLevel>0 THEN SELL 1 LOT AT breakevenLevel STOP ENDIF // --- end of BUY SIDE ---

   

  just laid it out to make it simple

  Giving it my best shot and I’m still falling short,

  or all the take profit or the stop loss that’s causing the trade to end too soon

  I’ve tried a more simpler system without the break-even i’m still having issues it turns out it’s the take profit that’s causing the issue I don’t know what to do from here

  sys229

  // Definition of code parameters DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated // Conditions to enter long positions indicator1 = CALL HLAroon[19] c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER 0) IF c1 THEN BUY 2 PERPOINT AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit long positions indicator2 = MACDline[22,46,9](close) indicator3 = ExponentialAverage[9](MACDline[22,46,9](close)) c2 = (indicator2 CROSSES UNDER indicator3) IF c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF IF Tp THEN SELL 1 PERPOINT AT MARKET ENDIF // Stops and targets : Enter your protection stops and profit targets here St = ((AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*2) Tp = ROUND((AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*1.5) SET STOP LOSS St

  Yes, Take Profit is the issue, you forgot to add

  SET TARGET PROFIT Tp

  1	SET TARGET PROFIT Tp

  line 21 doesn’t make sense, you are making a logical comparison with TP which does not retain a logical value. Use the above line as line 29, instead.

  Then change line line 21 to:

  IF Close >= (TradePrice + Tp) THEN

  1	IF Close >= (TradePrice + Tp) THEN

  but beware that your SL and TP changes every candle. I don’t know if that is what you want.

  Yes, you need to place their calculation within the conditions to enter a trade, along with the keyword NOT ONMARKET  to make sure they are not changed while the trade is open:

  // Definition of code parameters DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated // Conditions to enter long positions indicator1 = CALL HLAroon[19] c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER 0) IF c1 AND Not OnMarket THEN // Stops and targets : Enter your protection stops and profit targets here St = ((AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*2) Tp = ROUND((AverageTrueRange[14](CLOSE))*1.5) BUY 2 PERPOINT AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit long positions indicator2 = MACDline[22,46,9](close) indicator3 = ExponentialAverage[9](MACDline[22,46,9](close)) c2 = (indicator2 CROSSES UNDER indicator3) IF c2 AND LongOnMarket THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF IF Close >= (TradePrice + Tp) THEN SELL 1 PERPOINT AT MARKET ENDIF SET STOP LOSS St
