Hello. I have been running my own basic trading systems on UK and USA markets, 4 hours, 1 trade open at a time, for a while now but have recognised that I need to add in a stop loss after a certain period of time. I have been researching all the stop loss coding but I am struggling to make a start.

I want to include additional code that does the following:

Open 1 trade and ONLY after 30 periods, close it at a loss of 0.5%

Could someone please assist me – either direct me to a reference or provide some simple code to adapt.

Thankyou

Sean

There you go:
```
ONCE WaitingPeriods = 30
ONCE Tally          = WaitingPeriods 
IF StrategyProfit <> StrategyProfit[1]
   Tally = 0
ENDIF
IF Not OnMarket THEN
   Tally = Tally + 1
ELSE
   Tally = 0
ENDIF
IF MyLongConditions AND Not OnMarket AND (Tally > WaitingPeriods) THEN
   BUY....
   StopLoss = close * 0.005     //0.5%
   SET STOP LOSS StopLoss
ENDIF
IF MyShortConditions AND Not OnMarket AND (Tally > WaitingPeriods) THEN
   SELLSHORT....
   StopLoss = close * 0.005     //0.5%
   SET STOP LOSS StopLoss
ENDIF
```
