  To take an order only when the Supertrend turn from green to red or red to green, use that code snippet:

  st=supertrend[3,10] if close crosses over st then buy at market endif if close crosses under st then sellshort at market endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  st=supertrend[3,10] if close crosses over st then buy at market endif   if close crosses under st then sellshort at market endif

  I moved the topic from ProBuilder to ProOrder support, as it deals with a strategy.

  Please make sure you have carefully read the rules highlighted below (in yellow) in order to correctly use this forum. Thank you 🙂

  Hi Nicolas

  I attach the code for better understanding. For an example i want to the sell 25-jan 11:00 then take profit 13:37. Then i want the system to stay flat til 25-jan 22:10 when the upptrend starts and after stopploss 26-jan 02:25 stay flat again til next downtrend.
  I only want one trade per trend (trend =30min supertrend 3:10)

  Open itf in 1minute 5k units and Wall street cash.

  Many Thanks.

  This is what the code I prodived is doing 🙂

  Please copy/paste your code and by using the ‘insert prt code’ button. Better than attaching the itf file, thank you.

  You need to set a flag every time you send an entry order to market and not reset that flag until the trend changes direction. The flag not being set is a condition for allowing entry.

  flag = just a variable that you set to 1 or 0. If it is 1 then you have already opened a trade. If it is zero then no trade has been opened since the last change in supertrend direction. I don’t have time to amend your code for you right now.
