  Amigos/friends, Im new to coding but keen.

  Question if I may…I trade futures. Once I buy (go long) and I am longonmarket…how on earth do I instruct the stoploss to remain static at the lowest point of the entry (trade entry) bar?

  Effectively I want to set my stoploss just under my entry buy bar. can anyone help?

  gracias

  There you go (Not OnMarket added to your entry conditions does the trick):

  IF MyLongConditions AND Not OnMarket THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET SET TARGET pPROFIT 100 SET STOP pLOSS abs(close - low) / pipsize ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5

  IF MyLongConditions AND Not OnMarket THEN    BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET    SET TARGET pPROFIT 100    SET STOP   pLOSS    abs(close - low) / pipsize ENDIF

  Please use the correct language, I moved it from the Spanish to the English forum. Refrain from mixing languages. Thank you 🙂

  I changed the code because I had forgotten to set it to the LOW of the entry bar.
