Shifting back to SL after positive stop sert

  Hi

  I’ve been having my positive stop shift back to normal SL when it pulls back a bit, esentially when it doesnt meet criteria to shift to positive stop I think…it confused me a bit so I put in code so that is shouldn’t do it, but it continues to do it.

  I included code into the SL and TP so tat it wouldn’t be calculated after  its been set, but it still continues to shift back to its original stoploss..

  I have created a ticket, but am I missing something obvious?

  Below is related code, I’ve added code to rule out it shifting only, but it appears to continue… there is no other code relating to the stoploss or new positive stop

  Reverting back to SL on pullback

  Try moving the last ENDIF to just before line 53.
