  Hi!

  Dose anyone now how to code: IF the instrument you trade goes up 5% one day then dont take trades the day after.

  I would be grateful for any help 🙂

  Hello mikael,

  That’s pretty easy. First look for the variation from yesterday:

  var = 100-(DCLOSE(1) / DCLOSE(2))*100

  1	var = 100-(DCLOSE(1) / DCLOSE(2))*100

  Then test the “var” variable if it’s superior to your threshold (5% here), if so, then define the variable “allowtrade” to 0:

  if ABS(var)>5 then allowtrade = 0 else allowtrade = 1 endif

  1 2 3 4 5

  if ABS(var)>5 then allowtrade = 0 else allowtrade = 1 endif

  Then you can test this variable in your order launch conditions (example):

  IF buycondition AND allowtrade=1 THEN BUY 1 SHARE AT MARKET ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF buycondition AND allowtrade=1 THEN BUY 1 SHARE AT MARKET ENDIF

  Tell me if it does the trick! 🙂

  Thanks! It works :). I had thought about something like that but I couldn’t put it together.
