    Hi!

    Dose anyone now how to code: IF the instrument you trade goes up 5% one day then dont take trades the day after.

    I would be grateful for any help 🙂

    Hello mikael,

    That’s pretty easy. First look for the variation from yesterday:

    var = 100-(DCLOSE(1) / DCLOSE(2))*100

    Then test the “var” variable if it’s superior to your threshold (5% here), if so, then define the variable “allowtrade” to 0:

    if ABS(var)>5 then
 allowtrade = 0
else
 allowtrade = 1
endif

    Then you can test this variable in your order launch conditions (example):

    IF buycondition AND allowtrade=1 THEN 
 BUY 1 SHARE AT MARKET 
ENDIF

    Tell me if it does the trick! 🙂

    Thanks! It works :). I had thought about something like that but I couldn’t put it together.
