    Hello!

    I have a Problem with my programm.

    The Idea is to go short on thursday on S&P if the close on wednesday is under the Supertrend (2,5 10).

    Exit is at the end of the month. Entry at beginn of month. SL is if the course makes a new 20 day high.

    The code works as estimated,

    but i saw a detail that if the open on thursday is higher than the supertrend level from wednesday, there shouldn’t be a short trade.

    On September 5.9.19 the open is higher than the supertrend level of wednesday 4.9.

    In this case i don’t want to do the trade because it close is.

    Can someone help me with my code?

    defparam preloadbars=5000
    defparam cumulateorders=false
    size=(100000+strategyprofit)/(close)
    
    // Festlegung Variablen
    
    
    //Supertrendabfrage für Short
    indicator7 = SuperTrend[2.5,10]
    c7 = (close < indicator7)
    
    
    
    c9 = dayofweek=4 //Wochentag Thursday
    
    //Short Exit over 20 dayhigh
    indicator10=DonchianChannelUp[20]
    c10=close>indicator10
    
    
    //Entry parameter
    
    
    
    
    if not longonmarket and day>3 and day <24 and c7 and c9 then // short-parameter
    sellshort size contracts roundedup at market
    endif
    
    if shortonmarket and day>24 or c10 then // parameter for short-close
    exitshort at market
    endif

    Hi!

    You could change the entry condition with a stop order.

    sellshort size contracts roundedup at SuperTrend[2.5,10] stop

    In this case, if the price on Thursday is higher than Supertrend you will not have a trade.

    Yes Roberto you are right, but the entry start on 15:30. An on this time we stay over the super trend Level from day before. So I don’t want to entry this trade. I only want to do the trade if the open ist lower then supertrend the day before.

    Can you help me?

    Thanks. That is only a solution if the course is on open higher than the supertrend. All other cases i cant do the trade

    I test

    c8= open[1]<indicator7

    and add this to the sell order, but it didn’T work. It still sell
