Multiple conditions on a single BAR and STOPs

  With this strategy:

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false IF close > open THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF IF Macd[12,26,9](close) > 0 THEN SET TARGET pPROFIT 30 SET STOP pLOSS 15 BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF SET TARGET pPROFIT 20 SET STOP pLOSS 10

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

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false   IF close > open THEN    BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF   IF Macd[12,26,9](close) > 0 THEN    SET TARGET pPROFIT  30    SET STOP   pLOSS    15    BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF   SET TARGET pPROFIT  20 SET STOP   pLOSS    10

  (1) –  both conditions are true within the SAME bar, does ProOrder enters only 1 trade or 2, despite

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false

  1	DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false

  ?

  (2) – if and when the first condition is true, do SL and TP are set according to the two last lines, despite they are set before within

  IF ... ENDIF

  1	IF ... ENDIF

  ?

  Thanks.

  Remember that code is read from top to bottom, so it will only be the first condition to be true that will launch the only one allowed trade by CumulateOrders=false.

  About your point ‘2), sorry I don’t understand. If the set stop and set target are written at the bottom of the code, without been nested into a conditional statement, they will be read and executed by the server for the order launched some lines before.. Am I clear? 🙂
