    Tradeindex is a built-in instruction, it cannot be reset like a variable.
    What do you want to do exactly?

    I want to enter the market by a moving average crossing and then set a limit for that trade say 30 points but if the moving average then crosses latter

    the same trading day I only want to take the one trade per day.

    “IF NOT LongOnMarket AND Time > startime AND c2 AND TRADEINDEX < 1 THEN
    BUY 10 PERPOINT AT MARKET ”

    c2 = the moving average cross and i am using it on a minute time frame so getting many crossing during the day . The above is only taking the one trade per day but when you go to back test it only shows the first trade on the first day of the test.
