  Hi PRT Master

  I stuck on below last command, anyone can help?

  ”if last trade was a loser, wait 20 bars before taking the next signal.”

  For first part, use POSITIONPERF(n) command can solve, but how about the last?

  Use a flag, say TradeOn, to enter a trade and set it to 1 by default.

  When you suffer a loss clear TradeOn and save your bar ID, then when 20 bars have elapsed reset it to 1 to reenable trading.

  ONCE TradeOn = 1 ONCE BarID = 0 IF STRATEGYPROFIT < STRATEGYPROFIT[1] THEN TradeOn = 0 BarID = BarIndex ENDIF IF BarID > 0 AND (Barindex - BarID) > 20 THEN BardID = 0 TradeOn = 1 ENDIF IF YourConditions AND TradeOn THEN BUY/SELSHORT.... ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  ONCE TradeOn = 1 ONCE BarID   = 0 IF STRATEGYPROFIT < STRATEGYPROFIT[1] THEN    TradeOn = 0    BarID   = BarIndex ENDIF IF BarID > 0 AND (Barindex - BarID) > 20 THEN    BardID  = 0    TradeOn = 1 ENDIF IF YourConditions AND TradeOn THEN    BUY/SELSHORT.... ENDIF
