Hi I wonder if you can use the same code for stock as well as futures in the correct settings. Something like this below, but it doesn’t work.
```
///setup_futures 1 - setup_stock 2

setup=1

Positionsize = 1

Cashsize = 10000



// long entry

if not longonmarket and detector = 1 and (detector[1] = 0 or detector[1] = -1) then

if setup=1 then

buy Positionsize lot at market

endif

if setup=2 then

buy cashsize shares at market

endif

endif


//stops (no trailing stop with futures)

if setup=1 then

SET STOP %LOSS 1

endif


if setup=2 then

SET STOP %LOSS 1

SET STOP %TRAILING 2

Endif
```
Any Tips ?

Thanks! Paul

Moderator’s edit: message edited for you to make appear the proper format for PRT code. Please use the “<>” button (insert PRT code button) next time. Thanks you.

Topic moved to ProOrder section since it deals with automatic trading.

This code should operate the same for any instrument, as long as your “Positionsize” is set to a correct value for each of the instrument you’d like the code to operate with (minimal contract value could be different from a security to another).
