  Hello!

  I have a coding problem that i need help with. I have tried so many things and tried to read in the manual but haven’t found the answer… Im want to know how you write the code when you want to sell after a couple of days has passed. (Maybe that
  dosen´t work with PRT Backtestning???)

  Can you write something like this and put the correct function in the text?

  If x1 then
  sell 1 contract at market
  endif

  Sincerly

  Hello Christian,

  If you are executing this strategy on a daily timeframe, then you can play with barindex to test the difference between the current bar number and the one of when the trade was launched.

  So if you want to sell your long trade when it’s 3 days old, you can code it like this:

  If barindex-tradeindex(1)>=3 then sell at market endif

  1 2 3

  If barindex-tradeindex(1)>=3 then sell at market endif
