Help with setting exit at end of day if profit otherwise sell after 5 days

  Hi, i wanna create a really simple exit strategy for stocks and apply it to some other simple strategies i am trying out with stocks.

  What i want to do is create a exit strategy that exits the position if the position is in profit 5 minutes before market closing. It should keep doing this for 4 days and on the 5th day sell either way (despite being in loss) 5 minute before market closes.

  Here is a simple strategy for entering stochastics (2,3) on 30 and exit at 70 (and short the opposite). Now i want to add in the above exit strategy. What code do i write?

  // Definition of code parameters DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated // Conditions to enter long positions indicator1 = Stochastic[14,2](close) c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER 30) IF c1 THEN BUY 50 SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit long positions indicator2 = Stochastic[14,2](close) c2 = (indicator2 CROSSES UNDER 70) IF c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to enter short positions indicator3 = Stochastic[14,2](close) c3 = (indicator3 CROSSES OVER 70) IF c3 THEN SELLSHORT 50 SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit short positions indicator4 = Stochastic[14,2](close) c4 = (indicator4 CROSSES OVER 30) IF c4 THEN 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 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

  // Definition of code parameters DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated   // Conditions to enter long positions indicator1 = Stochastic[14,2](close) c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER 30)   IF c1 THEN BUY 50 SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF   // Conditions to exit long positions indicator2 = Stochastic[14,2](close) c2 = (indicator2 CROSSES UNDER 70)   IF c2 THEN SELL  AT MARKET ENDIF   // Conditions to enter short positions indicator3 = Stochastic[14,2](close) c3 = (indicator3 CROSSES OVER 70)   IF c3 THEN SELLSHORT 50 SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF   // Conditions to exit short positions indicator4 = Stochastic[14,2](close) c4 = (indicator4 CROSSES OVER 30)   IF c4 THEN EXITSHORT  AT MARKET ENDIF

  I appreciate any help and tips. I am quite new to prorealtime so i am very open to critique and learning.

  Regards,

  Because codes are only read once at Close of the bar, and if you are using this code on a daily timeframe, it is not possible to make it do things before the end of the day.  Until we get the multitimeframe support, I do not see any accurate solution I’m sorry!
