Hello everyone! I hope you are well! I have a problem that I am not able to solve and I don’t see where it is… Here is my code (I combine some seen on this site and some of mine 🙂 ) I’ve set up a trailing stop for the long positions and another for the shorts but I’d like to get a classic SL (implemented in the code in order not to touch the guaranty SL and pay an extra 1 point 😉 ) But it did not recognize my SL with the capital… Can you help me? 😀 //------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Code principal : DAX 5 Min //------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Trend Surfer DAX // code-Parameter DEFPARAM FlatAfter = 170000 // DAX trading window ONCE BuyTimeMorning = 90000 //90000 DAX 15 min / 90000 5 min ONCE SellTimeMorning = 121000 // 124000 DAX 15 min / 121000 5 min ONCE BuyTimeAfternoon = 133000 //133000 DAX 15 min / 133000 5 min ONCE SellTimeAfternoon = 160000 // 160000 DAX 15 min / 160000 5 min // traders dynamic indicator ONCE q = 14 ONCE r = 4 ONCE t = 29 // tdi filter parameter ONCE longPriceLevel = 35 ONCE shortPriceLevel = 40 ONCE middleBandLevel = 40 // trading parameter ONCE PositionSize = 1 // position management during trading window IF (Time >= BuyTimeMorning AND Time <= SellTimeMorning) OR (Time >= BuyTimeAfternoon AND Time <= SellTimeAfternoon) THEN // calculate TDI indicator RSIasPrice = RSI[q](customclose) Priceline = Average[r](RSIasPrice) MiddleBand = Average[t]((RSIasPrice)) // open position // long IF Not LONGONMARKET AND Priceline > MiddleBand AND Priceline > longPriceLevel AND MiddleBand > middleBandLevel THEN BUY PositionSize CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF // short IF Not SHORTONMARKET AND Priceline CROSSES UNDER MiddleBand AND Priceline > shortPriceLevel THEN SELLSHORT PositionSize CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF // close position IF Time = SellTimeMorning OR Time = SellTimeAfternoon THEN // long IF LONGONMARKET THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF IF SHORTONMARKET THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF ENDIF ENDIF //************************************************************************ SL = 30 // Initial SL //TP = 30 TSL = 1 // Use TSL?

As my demo is linked with my real account I don’t have to add fees for regular orders, but it does not count the stops as G SL.

When you you launch a robot in the real world you have the option to choose to be in G SL but not in the backtest and that’s my question, how do we set it up in backtest

The G stop has the same behavior as normal stoploss, in backtests stoploss price will always trigger at the exact same price than the price you set it at (because it doesn’t simulate the real market behavior). That’s what the G Stop is supposed to do, but in real trading, and it will also cost you an additional fee.

To simulate this fee in backtest, just manually add a markup on your spread or add order fee..
