  It seems to be working….. almost correctly!

  Yes, you have the same reference to 30 in both lines 9  and 13, so should X be equal to 30 both IFs will be executed thus making line 10 superfluous. I suggest that you either replace 30 in line 9 with 29 OR 30 in line 13 with 31.

  Code works well for

  defparam cumulateorders = false

   

  if I want run the same code

   

  defparam cumulateorders = TRUE

   

  what changed I need to make to single order code to make it multiple orders, I am running this on IG UK spread betting account

  I never used more than one order per strategy.

  What I know for sure is that there is ONE single SL and TP for each strategy, so if you accumalate contracts you have to set them only once. Also, no partial closing is allowed as of the current version of ProOrder, so all contracts need to be sold at one time, no matter whether you bought them at different times.

  I cannot tell you more about this, but according to what I said above, I think you don’t have to change anything since you have ONE trailing stop.

  prd clode

  Set stop loss 36 ret=.5 ret1=.75 ret2=.8 IF Not OnMarket THEN y = 0 ENDIF IF LongOnMarket AND close > (TradePrice + (y * pipsize)) THEN x = (close - tradeprice) / pipsize //convert price to pips IF x >= 15 and x<=20 THEN //go ahead only if 30+ pips y = max(x * ret, y) //y = 66.6% of max profit ENDIF IF x >= 20.1 and x<=100 THEN //go ahead only if 30+ pips y = max(x * ret1, y) //y = 66.6% of max profit ENDIF IF x >= 101 and x<=200 THEN //go ahead only if 30+ pips y = max(x * ret2, y) //y = 66.6% of max profit ENDIF ENDIF IF y THEN //Place pending LIMIT (not STOP) order when y>0 SELL AT Tradeprice + (y * pipsize) stop //convert pips to price ENDIF

  I ran the following code. I expect the system should stop out either 99 GBP loss or 90 GBP minimum profit or more

  results attached ( why the system stopped out 49.8 gbp loss)

  code

  //------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Main code : 3secsell(2) //------------------------------------------------------------------------- defparam cumulateorders = false DEFPARAM Preloadbars = 2000 DEFPARAM flatafter = 205900 //startBreakeven = y//how much pips/points in gain to activate the breakeven function? //PointsToKeep = x//how much pips/points to keep in profit above of below our entry price when the breakeven is activated (beware of spread) ctime1 = time > 161500 and time < 162500 x=2 IF not onmarket and ctime1 THEN sellshort .5 perpoint at market ENDIF Set stop loss 99 ret=.1 IF Not OnMarket THEN y = 0 ENDIF IF shortonMarket AND close < (TradePrice - (y * pipsize)) THEN x = (tradeprice-close) / pipsize //convert price to pips IF x >=98 then//go ahead only if 30+ pips y = max(x * ret, y) //y = 66.6% of max profit ENDIF ENDIF IF y THEN //Place pending LIMIT (not STOP) order when y>0 exitshort AT Tradeprice - (y * pipsize) stop //convert pips to price ENDIF Set stop loss 99
