  A strategy with this code will either never enter the WHILE loop if C6 is false or never exit that loop if C6 is true, since C6 and C1 are not modified once you are within the loop.

  by the way, c1 will not persist. is a crossover

  Please post here the complete code of the strategy, not so easy to understand what you want to be coded 🙂

  NEED TO BE COMPLETED. WHEN C1 HAPPEN WAIT UNTIL C2 HAPPEN WHEN C3 ALSO PERSISTS TO ENTER MARKET

  Ok Pedi’s! Let’s try with this code. 🙂 

  You need first to store the fact that C1 has crossed, and there are 2 ways to know it has, first one is a test through the last X bars:

  x = 10 //last 10 bars will be tested testC1 = summation[x](c1)>0 //c1 was true at least one time in the last X bars

  1 2	x = 10 //last 10 bars will be tested testC1 = summation[x](c1)>0 //c1 was true at least one time in the last X bars

  or you can store the variable like this (but you’ll need to reset it to 0 when another trigger, but it depends on your strategy… so I do not when you’d like to reset the C1 has crossed)

  if c1 then testc1 = 1 endif

  1 2 3

  if c1 then testc1 = 1 endif

  Now that you know your c1 condition is true, let’s check the other conditions and put an order at market:

  if testc1 and c2 and c3 then buy 1 contract at market endif

  1 2 3

  if testc1 and c2 and c3 then buy 1 contract at market endif
