Staying on market at least x bars

  Hello guys, here’s a function that closes the positions after x bars:

  IF OnMarket AND (BarIndex - TradeIndex) >=x THEN SELL AT MARKET EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF

  1 2 3 4

  IF OnMarket AND (BarIndex - TradeIndex) >=x THEN SELL      AT MARKET EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF

  But what if i would like to implement a function that does not close the position for at least x bars? Then just after that x bars let the system works normally with sl/tp/ts etc…?

  Probably it’s more simple then i think, but i ask you for security.

  Update: i managed to do that 🙂

  IF OnMarket AND (BarIndex - TradeIndex)<=x THEN set stop %loss 0 ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF OnMarket AND (BarIndex - TradeIndex)<=x THEN set stop %loss 0 ENDIF

  Yes, that was simple as i thought

  You will have to add an ELSE condition to set the SL after those X bars.
