Skip first entry in system

  Hi I ran into a problem with coding. Hopefully someone has an answer for it.

  detector is always -1 or 1

  previous intraday has a short position based on detector -1.

  It has stops attached.

  I cancel the order in the evening to make changes.

  At the opening because detector is still -1 it enters immediately short with different stops.

   

  If I take profit/loss on a position it supposed to re-enter based on detector.

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

  Only, I want to skip the first entry when a system goes active. Then have always a position based on the next opposite detector 1 or -1.

  Is there a solution for this?

  Thanks,

  Paul

  I found that the easiest solution is the best.

  Just close at end of day. That’s preferable.

  Besides use a extra indicator to create a signal so it doesn’t enter at the opening.

  I posted the code in the strategies as it looks interesting.
