Hi, Good morning and hope you are in good health. Please can you check the following code – the program does not like lines 12 & 17. //BUYDAX01 Q = 0.5 Q3 = Q * 3 Q32 = Q3 * 2 OFFSET = 5.0 BUY Q PERPOINT AT MARKET // If the above BUY is executed THEN to place a SELL pending order If LongOnMarket THEN SELL Q3 PERPOINT AT (TRADEPRICE - OFFSET) ENDIF // If the above SELL is executed THEN to place a BUY pending order IF ShortOnMarket THEN BUY Q32 PERPOINT AT (TRADEPRICE + OFFSET) ENDIF // Stops and targets : Enter your protection stops and profit targets here

Hi,

Good morning and hope you are in good health.

Please can you check the following code – the program does not like lines 12 & 17.
```
//BUYDAX01

Q = 0.5
Q3 = Q * 3
Q32 = Q3 * 2
OFFSET = 5.0

BUY Q PERPOINT AT MARKET

// If the above BUY is executed THEN to place a SELL pending order
If LongOnMarket THEN
SELL Q3 PERPOINT AT (TRADEPRICE - OFFSET)
ENDIF

// If the above SELL is executed THEN to place a BUY pending order
IF ShortOnMarket THEN
BUY Q32 PERPOINT AT (TRADEPRICE + OFFSET)
ENDIF

// Stops and targets : Enter your protection stops and profit targets here
```

Firstly OFFSET could not have a 1:1 ratio with price, so you’d better write it as
```
OFFSET = 5.0 * pipsize
```
Secondly TRADEPRICE is not known until a bar has elapsed since you last opened a position, thus it can be 0 the very first trade or the closing price of the previously closed trade.

patel_kaushik – Always use the ‘Insert PRT Code’ button when posting code in any future topics to make it easier for other to read/copy – as per the forum rules. I have tidied up your last post.
