DeepSeek AI helped me convert the Q‑Trend indicator from TradingView to a ProOrder strategy (ProRealTime). The code compiles and runs, but I’m not a programmer. I would really appreciate it if someone with ProRealTime expertise could review the logic and suggest improvements.

About the strategy

• Based on: Q‑Trend indicator – strong buy / strong sell signals only (open in outer 1/8 of the range over the last 5 bars).
• Timeframes used:
• 10‑minute confirmation (timeframe(10 minutes, updateonclose))
• 5‑minute confirmation (timeframe(5 minutes, updateonclose))
• Chart requirement: The strategy must be run on a 1‑minute chart because the code references higher timeframes inside timeframe() blocks. The base chart resolution must be the lowest timeframe used.
• Entry: Only when both the 10‑min and 5‑min timeframes generate a strong buy (or strong sell) signal simultaneously.
• Order accumulation: DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = true – the strategy can add contracts if multiple signals occur (but a cooldown is applied to prevent excessive stacking).
• Exit: Currently exits when the opposite strong signal appears on both timeframes. No stop loss or profit target – pure signal‑based flip.
• Filters included:
• Cooldown – 10 bars between same‑direction entries (barindex - lastLongBar >= 10).
• Zero‑bar exit protection – exits only when barindex > entryBar (prevents exit on the same bar as entry).

What I’d like help with

1. Logic correctness – Does this code correctly replicate the original Q‑Trend strong signals from TradingView?
2. Exit strategies – The current exit (opposite strong signal) often exits too late. Are there better exits (e.g., trailing stop, ATR target, or exiting when the trend line changes direction – changeUp / changeDown)?
3. Cumulative orders vs. flipping – Should I keep CumulateOrders = true or switch to false (flip positions) to reduce risk?
4. Parameter optimisation – Recommended values for p, atrp, mult, and cooldown when running on a 1‑minute chart with 10/5 min confirmations.
5. Potential bugs – I sometimes see multiple entries on the same bar even with the cooldown. Is there a cleaner way to prevent this?

The full ProRealTime code is below. Any feedback, improved version, or optimisation advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
