MnA · 2020-09-11T09:46:17+00:00

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
```
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.
