  Coding help:

  As the topic said, how to write codes that will:
  exit a position (long or short) if current bar closes with profit? (any profit)

  and also how to:
  exit a position (long or short) after 5 bars.

  Many thanks!

  This may get you started (0.0001 equates to 0.01%) …

  If Positionperf = – 0.0001 or Positionperf = 0.001 THEN

  Sell at market

  Exitshort at Market

  Endif

  If Barindex – Tradeindex = 5 Then

  Sell at market

  Exitshort at Market

  Endif

  Useful for you to check the instructions above on the ‘Function menu’ on the PRT Platform then you understand them better also you can check my syntax is correct! ha

  Aha I can see already! I use a lot of short sentences and hit return a lot!!!! lol
  I need to remember to shift+return instead!  It’s great asking questions cos it makes me look for answers!
