  // Something like this... inProfit = positionPerf > 0 if inProfit then // we are in profit // buy largetPosition shares at market endif // ------------------------ if longOnMarket then pointDrawdown = tradePrice - close elsif shortOnMarket then pointDrawdown = close - tradePrice else pointDrawdown = 0 // note pointDrawdown expressed as above is a POSITIVE number and if you are in profit it will be a -ve number // so then... if pointDrawdown >= myMaxPointDrawdown then // we reached our threshold // buy at market endif // ps careful with averaging down :-)

  Hi again,

  so to add a second larger position if the current one is profitable I will use the code:

  inProfit = positionPerf > 0 if inProfit then buy x contract at market endif

  1 2 3 4 5

  inProfit = positionPerf > 0   if inProfit then buy x contract at market endif

  How can one distinguish that it will add to a specific position if I have multiple? lets say I have 2 long positions and 3 short positions, does one add a label to the trades ? I mean I would need one more for sell on market and how does the script decide which one to use?

  for instance…

  // Buy condition if c1 then buy 1 contract at market endif // Add a second buy trade if first one is profitable inProfit = positionPerf > 0 if inProfit then buy 1 contract at market endif // Sell condition if c1 then sellshort 2 contract at market endif // Add a second sell trade if first one is profitable inProfit = positionPerf > 0 if inProfit then sellshort 1 contract at market endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

  // Buy condition if c1 then buy 1 contract at market endif   // Add a second buy trade if first one is profitable inProfit = positionPerf > 0   if inProfit then buy 1 contract at market endif     // Sell condition if c1 then sellshort 2 contract at market endif     // Add a second sell trade if first one is profitable inProfit = positionPerf > 0   if inProfit then sellshort 1 contract at market endif
