    hi,

    i want to go long when a bull candle is over the 20ma. the codes i got for it is

    ma20 = Average[20](close) //set ma20 as the 20 simple moving average
bullcandle = (close > open) //bull candle
c1 = (open >= ma20) AND bullcandle
IF c1 then
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF

    some candles done on the backtest satisfy what i was coding it for but some do not. like the one on the picture. can anyone explain what i am doing wrong and how can i improve thanks.

    There’s no pic attached ti your post.

    At first glance your code seems correct.

    It’s working fine on Dax, 15-minute TF.

    Post instrument/asset, TF, date and time where there’s a wrong entry, so I can replicate it.
