  Hi,

  I cant get this to work, I opens one order per bar:

  defparam preloadbars =4000 // Conditions to enter long positions indicator1 = close indicator2 = TriangularAverage[4000](close) c1 = (indicator1 > indicator2) c2 = (indicator1 < indicator2) IF c1 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF IF c2 THEN sellshort 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF // Counts the number of open shares or lots. MAXSHARES = COUNTOFPOSITION <= 3 //let's add another order while price continue to get higher (more than 10 points)than the last order taken with a condition of 5 bars elapsed since then IF TRADEINDEX(1)>n AND Close-TRADEPRICE(1)>10 AND LongOnMarket AND MAXSHARES THEN BUY 1 SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF //let's add another order while price continue to get lower (more than 10 points) than the last order taken with a condition of 5 bars elapsed since then IF TRADEINDEX(1)>n AND TRADEPRICE(1)-Close>10 AND ShortOnMarket AND MAXSHARES THEN SELLSHORT 1 SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF //trailing stop for the whole orders SET STOP pTRAILING 15

  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 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

  defparam preloadbars =4000   // Conditions to enter long positions indicator1 = close indicator2 = TriangularAverage[4000](close) c1 = (indicator1 > indicator2) c2 = (indicator1 < indicator2)   IF c1 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF   IF c2 THEN sellshort 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF   // Counts the number of open shares or lots.   MAXSHARES = COUNTOFPOSITION <= 3   //let's add another order while price continue to get higher (more than 10 points)than the last order taken with a condition of 5 bars elapsed since then IF TRADEINDEX(1)>n AND Close-TRADEPRICE(1)>10 AND LongOnMarket AND MAXSHARES THEN BUY 1 SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF     //let's add another order while price continue to get lower (more than 10 points) than the last order taken with a condition of 5 bars elapsed since then IF TRADEINDEX(1)>n AND TRADEPRICE(1)-Close>10 AND ShortOnMarket AND MAXSHARES THEN SELLSHORT 1 SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF     //trailing stop for the whole orders SET STOP pTRAILING 15

  Hi,

  Where is defined your “n” variable?

  What is your problem exactly? You mentioned that you opened an order per bar, which is correct at first view of your code. Because, while c1 or c2 is true you open a trade and they are always true obviously! 🙂
