Hey Ivan

Thanks for the advice of graphing the indicators, I have found a solution, I am not entirely sure of the logic of the solution though haha

//MOVING SL ONCE IF A FRACTAL IS CREATED

IF Not OnMarket THEN
SetStop = 1
ENDIF

stoploss = (lowest[5](low))
stoploss1 = (lowest[5](low))

IF longonmarket and SetStop = 1 then
if BARINDEX-TRADEINDEX(1)>1 and CB1H and close > entry1 THEN
stoploss=tradeprice
NEWSL = stoploss-stoploss1
set stop loss NEWSL
SetStop = 0
endif
endif

graphonprice CB1H coloured("green")
graphonprice stoploss coloured("red")
graphonprice stoploss1 coloured("blue")

The CB1H indicator only returns a value in one candle(green spikes in the picture added), which seems to affect the stoploss function to return a value (just speculating). If you have any insight for me to learn, that would be greatly appreciated

//Also Robertos code does also work I when the signal occurs I noticed, but only when I write it a flat value in the stoploss, like this:

IF Not OnMarket THEN
SetStop = 1
ENDIF

IF longonmarket and SetStop then
if BARINDEX-TRADEINDEX(1)>1 and CB1H and close > entry1 THEN
set stop loss 30
SetStop = 0
endif
endif

//cannot manage to write this part as code here for some reason, sorry haha
