I have an inconsistency in execution of code and am wondering if some could test and get the same results.
IF LONGONMARKET THEN SET STOP pLOSS SET TARGET pPROFIT – Doesn’t work
IF SHORTONMAKRET THEN SET STOP pLOSS SET TARGET pPROFIT – Does work
Maybe someone can explain why there’s this inconsistency
