Programming error with target and loss in percentage?

  Hello.

  A little question, how is that possible? Where is the mistake?

  This is what I wanted to program.

  I open a position at 09.00 o’clock and close the position at 17.00 o’clock.

  The average of a should be greater than the average of b.

  The SL is at 1%, the TP is at 1.5%.

   

  Short - nine to five

  TD = Opendayofweek = 1 or Opendayofweek = 2 or Opendayofweek = 3 or Opendayofweek = 4 or Opendayofweek = 5 TT = time = 090000 c1 = Exponentialaverage [1] (close) c2 = Exponentialaverage [2] (close) IF TD and TT then IF c1 > c2 then sellshort at market Endif Endif IF shortonmarket and time = 170000 then exitshort at market endif set stop %loss 1 set target %profit 1.5

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

  TD =  Opendayofweek = 1 or Opendayofweek = 2 or Opendayofweek = 3 or Opendayofweek = 4 or Opendayofweek = 5 TT =  time = 090000   c1 = Exponentialaverage [1] (close) c2 = Exponentialaverage [2] (close)   IF  TD and TT then IF  c1 > c2 then sellshort at market Endif Endif   IF shortonmarket and time = 170000 then exitshort at market endif     set stop %loss 1 set target %profit 1.5

   

  Applied to the Dax I have the following results. See screenshot. In the evaluation, gains of over 700 points, sometimes 900 points are displayed. Which is actually not possible, with TP of 1.5%.

  What have I done wrong?

  I think that’s a rounding issue with contract of 5€/point. Try with DAX 1€, like Vonasi did.
