Hello,

i am trying to use the attached code for backtesting strategies and it produces a lot of “EVEN” trades this only happens if i run it on prorealtime if i run prorealtime trough IG it does not happen. Anyone why this happens?

////trailing stop function
trailingstart = 3 //trailing will start @trailinstart points profit 25
trailingstep = 1 //trailing step to move the "stoploss" 30 21 & 9
slDistance = 0.6 // <--- to compensate for SL distance reqs emposed by the dealer.
 
//reset the stoploss value
IF NOT ONMARKET THEN
newSL=0
ENDIF
 
//manage long positions
IF LONGONMARKET THEN
//first move (breakeven)
IF newSL=0 AND close-tradeprice(1)>=trailingstart*pipsize THEN
newSL = tradeprice(1)+trailingstep*pipsize
ENDIF
//next moves
IF newSL>0 AND close-newSL>=trailingstep*pipsize+slDistance THEN
newSL = newSL+trailingstep*pipsize
ENDIF
ENDIF
 
//manage short positions
IF SHORTONMARKET THEN
//first move (breakeven)
IF newSL=0 AND tradeprice(1)-close>=trailingstart*pipsize THEN
newSL = tradeprice(1)-trailingstep*pipsize
ENDIF
//next moves
IF newSL>0 AND newSL-close>=trailingstep*pipsize+slDistance THEN
newSL = newSL-trailingstep*pipsize
ENDIF
ENDIF
 
//stop order to exit the positions
IF newSL>0 THEN
SELL AT newSL STOP
EXITSHORT AT newSL STOP
ENDIF


set stop ploss 5
