  Hello,

  i want to add an additional rule in my strategy.

  This rule is:

  After a Longtrade only is possible a Shorttrade

  and

  after a Shorttrade only is possible a Longtrade.

  How is the Code for this?

  Thank You for help in advance!

  Hi, you only need to flag a variable when you launch a new trade:

  once trade=0 if longconditions and (trade=-1 or trade=0) then buy 1 lot at market trade = 1 endif if shortconditions and (trade=1 or trade=0) then sellshort 1 lot at market trade = -1 endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  once trade=0   if longconditions and (trade=-1 or trade=0) then buy 1 lot at market trade = 1 endif   if shortconditions and (trade=1 or trade=0) then sellshort 1 lot at market trade = -1 endif

  Then test this “trade” variable to see if your last trade were a long or a short position.
