  Im still stuck on this.

  once trigger = 0 if trigger = 0 and high < bolldown then trigger = 1 triggersignal = barindex endif if (barindex-triggersignal) >8 then trigger = 0 endif if trigger = 1 and close > bollup then trigger = 2 endif IF Trigger = 2 and c1 and close>c2 AND Not OnMarket and not daysForbiddenEntry THEN BUY 1 Contract AT Market SET TARGET pPROFIT 10 SET STOP ploss 10 Trigger = 0 ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

  once trigger = 0 if trigger = 0 and  high < bolldown then trigger = 1 triggersignal = barindex endif if (barindex-triggersignal) >8 then trigger = 0 endif if trigger = 1 and close > bollup then trigger = 2 endif   IF Trigger = 2  and c1 and close>c2  AND Not OnMarket and not daysForbiddenEntry THEN BUY 1 Contract AT Market SET TARGET pPROFIT 10 SET STOP   ploss 10 Trigger = 0 ENDIF

  From what i understand the trigger =  1 is not reset and keeps adding. How do i reset all variables after trade.

  Your variable “trigger” is reset to 0 as soon as you enter an order at line 17.

  At next bar, the code is read and if the condition are fulfilled at line 2, the variable is set to 1.

  How do i reset variable 1 if the conditions for variable 2 arent met?

  I tried to reset it  8 bars after variable 1, seems to not work.

  When the high is < bolldown this is variable 1. I named it trigger = 1.

  When trigger = 1 is active and within 8 bars if price closed above bollup i named it trigger =2 ( variable 2).

  If it dosent close above bollup within 8 bars i tried to reset it back to trigger =0.

  Im sorry i know my explanation is a little confusing.

  Defparam cumulateorders = false DEFPARAM FLATBEFORE = 090000 DEFPARAM FLATAFTER = 160000 daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0 //INDICATORS c1 = AverageTrueRange[14](close) > 2 c2 = ExponentialAverage[200](close) Bollup = CALL "Example2 : Bollinger(1)upup"[0.66, 10] Bolldown = CALL "Example2 : Bollinger(1)down"[0.66, 10] //SIGNALS once trigger = 0 ONCE trigger = 1 if trigger = 0 and high < bolldown then trigger = 1 triggersignal = barindex endif if (barindex-triggersignal) >8 then trigger = 0 endif if trigger = 1 and close > bollup then trigger = 2 endif //BUY CONDITIONS IF Trigger = 2 and c1 and close>c2 and bolldown > c2 AND Not OnMarket and not daysForbiddenEntry THEN BUY 1 Contract AT market SET TARGET pPROFIT 10 SET STOP ploss 10 Trigger = 0 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

  Defparam cumulateorders = false DEFPARAM FLATBEFORE = 090000 DEFPARAM FLATAFTER = 160000 daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 6 OR OpenDayOfWeek = 0   //INDICATORS c1 = AverageTrueRange[14](close) > 2 c2 = ExponentialAverage[200](close) Bollup = CALL "Example2 : Bollinger(1)upup"[0.66, 10] Bolldown = CALL "Example2 : Bollinger(1)down"[0.66, 10]   //SIGNALS once trigger = 0 ONCE trigger = 1 if trigger = 0 and  high < bolldown  then trigger = 1 triggersignal = barindex endif if (barindex-triggersignal) >8 then trigger = 0 endif if trigger = 1 and close > bollup then trigger = 2 endif   //BUY CONDITIONS IF Trigger = 2  and c1 and close>c2 and bolldown > c2 AND Not OnMarket and not daysForbiddenEntry THEN BUY 1 Contract AT market SET TARGET pPROFIT 10 SET STOP   ploss 10 Trigger = 0 ENDIF

  This is the full code.

  If you GRAPH trigger, you will see at what moment the variable is set to what value, did you try? This is the first step to understand why a code is not functioning at it should, GRAPH the variables! 😉
