  Hi All

  How to count the buy order will be realy executed and stop buying after 3 time :

  Defparam cumulateorders = True SMA10 = Average[10](close) SMA20 = Average[20](close) SMA100 = Average[100](close) C1 = SMA10 Crosses Over SMA20 AND SMA20 > SMA100 IF C1 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET Count = Count + 1 // Only if the Purchase is executed ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  Defparam cumulateorders = True SMA10 = Average[10](close) SMA20 = Average[20](close) SMA100 = Average[100](close)   C1 = SMA10 Crosses Over SMA20 AND SMA20 > SMA100   IF C1 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET Count = Count + 1 // Only if the Purchase is executed ENDIF

  or a line number for Snippet also will be ok
  Best Reguards,

  You have to use COUNT in your entry conditions, provided it is cleared when not on market:

  Defparam cumulateorders = True IF Not OnMarket THEN Count = 0 ENDIF SMA10 = Average[10](close) SMA20 = Average[20](close) SMA100 = Average[100](close) C1 = SMA10 Crosses Over SMA20 AND SMA20 > SMA100 IF C1 AND (Count < 3) THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET Count = Count + 1 // Only if the Purchase is executed ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

  Defparam cumulateorders = True IF Not OnMarket THEN    Count = 0 ENDIF SMA10 = Average[10](close) SMA20 = Average[20](close) SMA100 = Average[100](close) C1 = SMA10 Crosses Over SMA20 AND SMA20 > SMA100 IF C1 AND (Count < 3) THEN    BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET    Count = Count + 1 // Only if the Purchase is executed ENDIF

  tks again for your answers, But Once again, I have phrased my question incorrectly :

  – How to count in the case of Limit order ? you can see in the photo, The conditions for the purchase were met except for the price limit
  – we can also met the same situation in the case of my Buy order is filled (so at this time we are OnMarket) But if my order is closed because of a stop loss so we will be in the case of Not OnMarket (So Count = 0) even we execute the Buy only one time

  I found this solution, maybe you have an other idea :

  Defparam cumulateorders = True if intradaybarindex=0 then // we reset Count every day Count = 0 endif SMA10 = Average[10](close) SMA20 = Average[20](close) SMA100 = Average[100](close) C1 = SMA10 Crosses Over SMA20 AND SMA20 > SMA100 IF C1 AND (Count <= 3) THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF IF OnMarket AND Not OnMarket[1] THEN Count = Count + 1 // Like thit we are sure to add 1 only if we are on market and the candle just before we are not on market ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

  Defparam cumulateorders = True if intradaybarindex=0 then // we reset Count every day Count = 0 endif   SMA10 = Average[10](close) SMA20 = Average[20](close) SMA100 = Average[100](close) C1 = SMA10 Crosses Over SMA20 AND SMA20 > SMA100 IF C1 AND (Count <= 3) THEN    BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF   IF OnMarket AND Not OnMarket[1] THEN Count = Count + 1 // Like thit we are sure to add 1 only if we are on market and the candle just before we are not on market ENDIF

  A better solution is to reset COUNT at the beginning of a new trading day:

  IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN Count = 0 ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 THEN    Count = 0 ENDIF

  the issue with pending orders can be addressed with this code, which detects a new entry (to be tallied when there are more positions on market than there were the prior candle:

  Defparam cumulateorders = True IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 AND Not OnMarket THEN Count = 0 ENDIF SMA10 = Average[10](close) SMA20 = Average[20](close) SMA100 = Average[100](close) myPos = abs(CountOfPosition) Count = Count + (myPos > myPos[1]) C1 = SMA10 Crosses Over SMA20 AND SMA20 > SMA100 IF C1 AND (Count < 3) THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT low - 10*PipSize LIMIT ENDIF set target pprofit 100 set stop ploss 100

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

  Defparam cumulateorders = True IF IntraDayBarIndex = 0 AND Not OnMarket THEN Count = 0 ENDIF SMA10 = Average[10](close) SMA20 = Average[20](close) SMA100 = Average[100](close)   myPos = abs(CountOfPosition) Count = Count + (myPos > myPos[1]) C1 = SMA10 Crosses Over SMA20 AND SMA20 > SMA100 IF C1 AND (Count < 3) THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT low - 10*PipSize LIMIT ENDIF set target pprofit 100 set stop   ploss   100

  Actually, instead of checking positions, you might use:

  Count = Count + LongTriggered

  1	Count = Count + LongTriggered

  My subconscious found the solution while I slept last night, but with your solution on top of it, I’m lost …. 😅

  Actually I’m joking 😊, again thank you for your answer I totally understand your solution and I will try to understand it even better,

  About line 15, wouldn’t it be better to use the Close than Low, also maybe the Close +2 pips in limit for exemple

  With a buy at Low – 10 pips, do I risk not getting executed and the market going without me ?

  in the continuity of my code I realise that if I am in position and I take another position then my line 16 does not work so I had to add this :

  IF OnMarket AND Not OnMarket[1] OR ABS(CountOfPosition) > ABS(CountOfPosition[1]) THEN Count = Count + 1ENDIF

  1 2	IF OnMarket AND Not OnMarket[1] OR ABS(CountOfPosition) > ABS(CountOfPosition[1]) THEN Count = Count + 1ENDIF

  It seems to work, I’ll come back at the end of the day to do more tests and compare with your solution @robertogozzi which seems much simpler than mine and I think it does the job

  That’s how it takes me more than 4 hours on Wednesday to have 15 minutes of concentration to understand what it is, I’m sick of this temporary office 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  Wish me luck
