Hi im trying to use the probuilder to create a simple Macd auto strategy that will open both long and short positions on the FX market, but the simple help screen wants to turn each trade off when it makes a new 1.

Knowing that the FX market bounces up and down quite a bit, my aim is to set a take profit point of say 50, and then at some point the trades will close out given the continual up/down nature of the market, im not really concerned with how many open orders it might create initially, but over time all orders should close out. Its just a theory for now, but would like to try it out on the demo b4 going live if it gives some decent results, basically in theory all trades will close out at a profit, its just a matter of time, and its that time factor i want to test.

you can see on the attached chart pic, its creating an order every tic basically, but looking at the Macd chart, theres only 4 times it crosses

heres the code that i have started with, any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

DJ

// Definition of code parameters
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated

// Prevents the system from placing new orders on specified days of the week
daysForbiddenEntry = OpenDayOfWeek = 0

// Conditions to enter long positions
indicator1 = MACD[6,13,8](close)
c1 = (indicator1 >= indicator1)

IF c1 AND not daysForbiddenEntry THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Conditions to enter short positions
indicator2 = MACD[6,13,8](close)
c2 = (indicator2 >= indicator2)

IF c2 AND not daysForbiddenEntry THEN
SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Stops and targets
SET TARGET pPROFIT 50
