    I have been using back testing for quite a while, I’ve just changed a strategy and now I get no results even when I change the code to be very simple. not sure what’s wrong here . AUD/USD mini

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

// Buy Price
Startprice = Tradeprice
TakeProfit = (Startprice + 0.0008)
Buyit = 1

// Conditions to enter long positions
indicator1 = MACDline[12,26,9](close)
indicator3 = MACD[12,26,9](close)
indicator4 = Average[18](close)
indicator5 = MACDSignal[12,26,9](close)

c1 = (indicator1 > indicator1[1])
c2 = (indicator1 > indicator3)
c3 = (close > indicator4)
c7 = (indicator1 > indicator5)

IF c1 and c2 THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Conditions to exit long positions
indicator6 = (close > Takeprofit)

c4 = (indicator1 < indicator1[1])
c5 = (close > Startprice)
c6 = indicator6

IF c4 or c6 THEN
SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF

    As it’s on Forex, Line 6 needs to be as below … assuming you even mean that as 0.0008 ia a very small increase??

    TakeProfit = (Startprice + 0.0008*pointsize)

    Thanks GraHal this has worked as well as a variable in the past but I’ll give it a try. but this is more about taking the trade not closing the position .. I’m struggling to even start a trade .. thank you ..

    Use below at bottom of your code so you can see when C1 and c2 are true to check for coincidence.

    MyBuy - C1 AND C2
GRAPH MyBuy

    Hi @crankbuddy

    There is an error in the code, namely line 29 “c6=indicator6″…

    This condition is always true, so the position is immediately closed again…

    Remove line 29 and change line 31 to “If c4 then”

    Thanks JS, I removed the code and it fixed the problem, and Thanks GraHal for the GRAPH tip, it’s handy and I will use it in future coding.
