    Hi,

    Please forgive my ignorance as I’m a beginner to PRT coding.

    I have a very basic code that looks at 4H charts.

    -If the previous candle closes green then it enters a long.

    -If the previous candle closes red then it enters a short.

    I am trying to get it to close at the end of each candle, this seems to be working for my long positions but not my short.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated on why my code is not working properly.

    Thank you in advance and happy trading!

    Anton

     

    // Definition of code parameters
    DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated
    
    // Conditions to enter long positions
    c1 = (close >= close[1])
    
    IF c1 THEN
    BUY 4 CONTRACT AT MARKET
    ENDIF
    
    SET STOP pLOSS 300
    
    // Conditions to exit long positions
    c2 = (close CROSSES OVER close)
    
    IF Longonmarket then
    IF open<close Then
    SELL AT MARKET
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
    
    // Conditions to enter short positions
    c3 = (close < close[1])
    
    IF c3 THEN
    SELLSHORT 4 CONTRACT AT MARKET
    ENDIF
    
    c4 = (close CROSSES OVER close)
    // Conditions to exit short positions
    IF Shortonmarket then
    IF open>close Then
    SELL AT MARKET
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
    
    // Stops and targets
    SET STOP pLOSS 300
