Hello

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, as I’m not getting the expected entry in trades with this platform. Below is part of a larger strategy, but I’ve trimmed the code to simplify troubleshooting. If you notice, when the price touches the short moving average during a downtrend, the trade is not executed as expected. Please see the attached file. This is just one example among many occurrences. The platform’s time is set to UTC+1. Asset is US Crude $10 in 4Hrs time fame. The strategy involves executing a sell entry position when the long moving average is above the short moving average, and the price touches the short moving average. This should be done with a fixed stop loss and profit target

defparam cumulateorders=false
//////////////////////////////////////////Short Position Condition///////////////////////////////////////////

MAS=ExponentialAverage[15](close)

MAL=ExponentialAverage[55](close)

 
IF MAS[1]<MAL[1]  THEN
condition1Short=1
ELSE
condition1Short=0
ENDIF



IF ABS(High-MAS)<10*pipsize THEN
priceTouched1=1
ELSE
priceTouched1=0

ENDIF

SET TARGET PPROFIT 100*pipsize
