  druby is right, change those lines as recommended. This change will still keep your SL changing every candle.

  If you want to set your SL only once, I recommend adding these lines at the beginning of your code (in between lines 1 and 2):

  IF LongOnMarket AND Not LongOnMarket[1] THEN SET STOP LOSS StopLoss1 ENDIF IF ShortOnMarket AND Not ShortOnMarket[1] THEN SET STOP LOSS StopLoss ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  IF LongOnMarket AND Not LongOnMarket[1] THEN    SET STOP LOSS StopLoss1 ENDIF IF ShortOnMarket AND Not ShortOnMarket[1] THEN    SET STOP LOSS StopLoss ENDIF

  this will set your SL according to the values retained when the pending order was set (the prior candle).

  If you want to set your SL according to the values set when the order was triggered (the currently closed candle), then add those lines in between lines 52 and 53, instead.

  Hi druby and robertogozzi,

  I have tried adding as robberto mentioned but did not change anything and still the same.

  Once the long or the short entry is triggered, SL or TP must not change. should stay the same but it should not go till the next trade. is it possible to cancel everything maybe just before at 19.00. means will exit the whole trade with a loss or a profit as SL or the TP not hit. and everything to be calculated fresh as a new trade from 1900-0100 next day? seems like this one goes on until the SL or the TP hit? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

  I have added the same example EURUSD – May 14th still entered and exit at the same time.

  Robberto's update

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False IF LongOnMarket AND Not LongOnMarket[1] THEN SET STOP LOSS StopLoss1 ENDIF IF ShortOnMarket AND Not ShortOnMarket[1] THEN SET STOP LOSS StopLoss ENDIF starttime = 191500 endtime = 011500 trigTime = 100000 // added! //------------------------------------------------------ open data window if time = starttime and startFlag = 0 then startFlag = 1 startBar = barindex hh = 0 ll = 0 endFlag = 0 trigFlag = 0 endif //------------------------------------------------------ update hh/ll while in window open if startFlag = 1 then if high > hh then hh = high endif if low < ll or ll = 0 then ll = low endif endif //------------------------------------------------------ close data window if time = endTime and startFlag = 1 and endFlag = 0 then endFlag = 1 endBar = barindex startFlag = 0 elsif startFlag = 1 then endbar = barindex endif //------------------------------------------------------ when window closed if endFlag = 1 then dif = hh-ll fib38 = hh fib0 = ll endif //------------------------------------------------------ when trigger time reached if time >= trigTime and startFlag = 0 and endFlag = 1 then // added! +2 lines trigFlag = 1 endif EntryPrice = (fib38-fib0)*2.5+fib0 EntryPrice1 = (fib0-fib38)*1.5+fib0 StopLoss = (fib38-fib0)*3.0050+fib38 StopLoss1 = (fib0-fib38)*3.0050+fib0 takeprofit = (fib38-fib0)/2+fib0 //changed takeprofit1 = (fib0-fib38)/2+fib0 //changed! // Conditions to enter Short positions IF NOT ShortOnMarket AND startFlag = 0 and endFlag = 1 and trigFlag = 0 then // changed!

  Hi,

  These levels are calculated as a percentage of the original range (Diff=HH-LL) …

  Is this what you’re looking for?

  The difference in notation is because you are probably on a “spread betting account”…

  Hi JS,

  Your Pic example shows exactly what should happen. should this change to calculate values instead of percentages if it doesn’t work on spread betting? 🙁

  Hi,

  (Intra) Day starts at 00:00

  First action at 01:00: determine the range (HH-LL) over the last six hours…

  (Six hours corresponds to the time between yesterday 19:00 and today 01:00)

  You only set a new range when there is no position open, this to prevent the SL and TP from changing while a position is open…

   If OpenTime=010000 and NOT OnMarket then

  HH=Highest[24](High)

  LL=Lowest[24](Low)

  diff=HH-LL

  Level0=HH

  Level100=LL

  EndIf

  Second action runs from 01:00 to 10:00

  Positions can be opened in this time slot, but only if there is no open position yet…

  If Time>010000 and Time<100000 and NOT OnMarket then

  If Low<Level0-(Diff*Mult) then

  Buy 1 contract at Market

  EndIf

  If Close>Level100+(Diff*Mult) then

  SellShort 1 contract at Market

  EndIf

  Set Stop Loss SL*Diff

  Set Target Profit TP*Diff

  EndIf

  That’s it…

  If you want to see the same values as on my screenshot, use:

  DefParam CumulateOrders=False
  Mult=2.5
  SL=1.5
  TP=2
  If OpenTime=010000 and NOT OnMarket then

  Hi JS,

  It works nicely… only one or two entries are in different values! thanks very much I’m happy at least to develop this strategy to this level!

  I noticed something on EURUSD 17MAY – SL hit at 9.30am and then at 9.45am another long trade gets triggered. is this because it’s before 10am? how to cancel that? same thing has happen on the 17MAR! Please see attached example. How to avoid this please? Please see attached example

  DefParam CumulateOrders=False Mult=2.5 SL=1.5 TP=2 If OpenTime=010000 and NOT OnMarket then HH=Highest[24](High) LL=Lowest[24](Low) Diff=HH-LL Level0=HH Level100=LL EndIf If Time>010000 and Time<100000 and NOT OnMarket then If Low<Level0-(Diff*Mult) then Buy 1 contract at Market EndIf If Close>Level100+(Diff*Mult) then SellShort 1 contract at Market EndIf Set Stop Loss SL*Diff Set Target Profit TP*Diff EndIf //GraphOnPrice HH as "HH" //GraphOnPrice LL as "LL" GraphOnPrice Level0 as "Level0" GraphOnPrice Level100 as "Level100" Graph Diff as "Diff" GraphOnPrice (Level0-(Diff*Mult)) as "EntryLong" coloured("Green") GraphOnPrice (Level100+(Diff*Mult)) as "EntryShort" coloured("Green") GraphOnPrice (Level0-(Diff*Mult))-(SL*Diff) as "SLLong" coloured("Red") GraphOnPrice (Level100+(Diff*Mult))+(SL*Diff) as "SLShort" coloured("Red") GraphOnPrice (Level0-(Diff*Mult))+(TP*Diff) as "TPLong" coloured("Blue") GraphOnPrice (Level100+(Diff*Mult))-(TP*Diff) as "TPShort" coloured("Blue")

  Thanks again to everyone developing this strategy.  Even though the original strategy is about Central Banks Dealers Range at 19.00-1.00 ! it gets very interesting when you change the time ranges in different markets.

  Hi @crolakstrading

  That’s right, between Time>010000 and Time<100000, the system is free to open and close positions… I have changed the code so that only 1 trade is opened per day…

  A few points to consider…

  In line 14 “If Low<…” you can use the “Close” or the “Low”

  In line 18 “If Close>…” you can use the “Close” or the “High”

  Good luck with your system…

  Hi @JS,

  Thanks very much again.. I have been checking this it works great I think. I changed the line 28 If Close> to If High>

  Some entries both short or long are a bit different. example EURUSD 17MAy it triggers 2 pips above. so instead of hitting TP it goes to SL. This might be a stupid question but is this because of the spread? please see below pic.

  Thank yo

  Hi @crolakstrading

  On May 17, the “EntryLong” is 1.085480, the “Low” (you have to look at the bar before the entry) is 1.08544 so a long position will be opened on the “Open” of the next bar (1.08557) …

  So, it’s exactly right and has nothing to do with the (unused) spread… 🙂

  Hi @crolakstrading

  Currently, the orders that are used in your system are “market orders”…

  These orders will never open exactly on the drawn lines because they open on the “Open” of the next bar…

  If you do want to have an exact execution on the lines, you will have to use a different type of order, for example “limit orders”…

  HI @JS,

  yeah the lines show exact execution but entries are little bit different. how can we change it to “limit orders”? to get exact entry as the line? this will make the 17th loss in to a profit.

  If Time>010000 and Time<100000 and NOT ONMARKET then If Low<Level0-(Diff*Mult) and LongTally<MaxTrades then Buy 1 contract AT close LIMIT LongTally=LongTally+1 EndIf If high>Level100+(Diff*Mult) and ShortTally<MaxTrades then SellShort 1 contract AT close LIMIT ShortTally=ShortTally+1 EndIf Set Stop Loss SL*Diff Set Target Profit TP*Diff EndIf

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

  If Time>010000 and Time<100000 and NOT ONMARKET  then If Low<Level0-(Diff*Mult) and LongTally<MaxTrades then Buy 1 contract AT close LIMIT LongTally=LongTally+1 EndIf   If high>Level100+(Diff*Mult) and ShortTally<MaxTrades then SellShort 1 contract AT close LIMIT ShortTally=ShortTally+1 EndIf Set Stop Loss SL*Diff Set Target Profit TP*Diff EndIf

  tried but clearly i’m doing it wrong!!

  Hi @crolakstrading

  Here is the system based on “Limit” orders instead of “Market” orders…
