In automated trading, is it possible to instruct the PRT system not to enter a trade after a certain time has elapsed counting from the time the last trade was closed?

Also, is there any link to help in setting up a trailing stop?

Many thanks,

I. Petrie

You can search the forum for TRAILING STOP and you’ll be returned many links to code and posts. Nicolas’code is at https://www.prorealcode.com/blog/trading/complete-trailing-stop-code-function/ (lines 17-56 are ready to be added to your code as is).

This code will allow you to stop trading for MaxBars bars (not tested):
```
ONCE TradeON = 1
ONCE Count   = 0
ONCE MaxBars = 20           //Number of bars to wait before trading again
IF Count > 0 THEN
   Count = Count + 1
   IF Count >= MaxBars THEN
      Count   = 0
      TradeON = 1
   ENDIF
ENDIF
IF StrategyProfit <> StrategyProfit[1] THEN
   Count   = 1
   TradeON = 0
ENDIF
IF LongConditions AND TradeON THEN
   BUY 1 Contract AT Market
ENDIF
```
TradeON must be added to your conditions to enter a trade.
