  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45

  ///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

  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).
