Make program take a pause after win

  Hi all

  Been playing around with ProRealtime for like 10w now and I have made some profits so far, but I have one problem that maybe someone can help me with.

  If this is met

  SET TARGET pPROFIT 325

  1	SET TARGET pPROFIT 325

  The following trade is 90% a loss. Is there a way to make the program to take a pause/break for some time for ex 12/24/36h after it has hit the target profit?

  Best wishes

  Daniel

  Yes, the best is pausing the strategy for N bars (you know how many bars it takes to pause 1, 4 or 48 hours).

  Add the variable TradeON to your conditions to trade:

  ONCE TradeON = 1 ONCE PauseBars = 20 ONCE Count = 0 IF TradeON = 0 THEN Count = Count - 1 TradeON = (Count = 0) ENDIF IF StrategyProfit > StrategyProfit[1] THEN Count = PauseBars TradeON = 0 ENDIF IF MyLongConditions AND TradeON THEN BUY..... ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

  ONCE TradeON   = 1 ONCE PauseBars = 20 ONCE Count     = 0 IF TradeON = 0 THEN    Count = Count - 1    TradeON = (Count = 0) ENDIF IF StrategyProfit > StrategyProfit[1] THEN    Count = PauseBars    TradeON = 0 ENDIF IF MyLongConditions AND TradeON THEN    BUY..... ENDIF

  Hi Roberto and tank you for your fast reply

  I have sofar just used the simplyfied creation, so all this is new to me. I post the full code and mb you can tell me where and how to make your code fit?

  // Definition of code parameters DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated // Conditions to enter long positions indicator1 = ExponentialAverage[20](close) indicator2 = ExponentialAverage[100](close) c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER indicator2) IF c1 THEN BUY 5 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit long positions indicator3 = ExponentialAverage[20](close) indicator4 = ExponentialAverage[100](close) c2 = (indicator3 CROSSES UNDER indicator4) IF c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF // Stops and targets SET TARGET pPROFIT 325

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

  // Definition of code parameters DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated   // Conditions to enter long positions indicator1 = ExponentialAverage[20](close) indicator2 = ExponentialAverage[100](close) c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER indicator2)   IF c1 THEN BUY 5 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF   // Conditions to exit long positions indicator3 = ExponentialAverage[20](close) indicator4 = ExponentialAverage[100](close) c2 = (indicator3 CROSSES UNDER indicator4)   IF c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF   // Stops and targets SET TARGET pPROFIT 325

  There you go:

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35

  // Definition of code parameters DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated   ONCE TradeON   = 1 ONCE PauseBars = 20 ONCE Count     = 0 IF TradeON = 0 THEN    Count = Count - 1    TradeON = (Count = 0) ENDIF IF StrategyProfit > StrategyProfit[1] THEN    Count = PauseBars    TradeON = 0 ENDIF   // Conditions to enter long positions indicator1 = ExponentialAverage[20](close) indicator2 = ExponentialAverage[100](close) c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES OVER indicator2) IF c1 AND TradeON THEN    BUY 5 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions to exit long positions indicator3 = ExponentialAverage[20](close) indicator4 = ExponentialAverage[100](close) c2 = (indicator3 CROSSES UNDER indicator4) IF c2 AND TradeON THEN    SELL AT MARKET ENDIF // Stops and targets SET TARGET pPROFIT 325

  Tank you so much, I got it working and is now trying out different values and backtesting. But now it makes a pause after every winning trade, so both when “Condition to exit long position” makes a profit and “stops and targets” are met. Is there a way to make it only pause after the “Stops and target(set target pProfit(325))” is met?
