  I received the erro in attached during my ALgo .

  Ithink could be the trailing code ,

  TRailing

  SL = stoploss // Initial SL TP = TP TSL = 1 // Use TSL? TrailingDistance = 5 // Distance from close to TSL TrailingStep = 5 // Pips locked at start of TSL //************************************************************************ IF TSL = 1 THEN //reset the stoploss value IF NOT ONMARKET THEN newSL = 0 CAND = 0 ENDIF //manage long positions IF LONGONMARKET THEN //first move (breakeven) IF newSL = 0 AND CLOSE - TRADEPRICE(1) >= TrailingDistance*PipSize THEN newSL = TRADEPRICE(1) + TrailingStep*PipSize ENDIF //next moves CAND = BarIndex - TradeIndex IF newSL > 0 AND CLOSE[1] >= HIGHEST[CAND](CLOSE) THEN newSL = CLOSE[1] - TrailingDistance*PipSize ENDIF ENDIF //stop order to exit the positions IF newSL > 0 THEN SELL AT newSL STOP ENDIF SET STOP pLOSS SL ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

  SL = stoploss // Initial SL TP = TP TSL = 1 // Use TSL? TrailingDistance = 5 // Distance from close to TSL TrailingStep = 5 // Pips locked at start of TSL   //************************************************************************ IF TSL = 1 THEN   //reset the stoploss value IF NOT ONMARKET THEN newSL = 0 CAND = 0 ENDIF   //manage long positions IF LONGONMARKET THEN //first move (breakeven) IF newSL = 0 AND CLOSE - TRADEPRICE(1) >= TrailingDistance*PipSize THEN newSL = TRADEPRICE(1) + TrailingStep*PipSize ENDIF //next moves CAND = BarIndex - TradeIndex IF newSL > 0 AND CLOSE[1] >= HIGHEST[CAND](CLOSE) THEN newSL = CLOSE[1] - TrailingDistance*PipSize ENDIF ENDIF   //stop order to exit the positions IF newSL > 0 THEN SELL AT newSL STOP ENDIF SET STOP pLOSS SL ENDIF

   

  Could you please help to understand better  ?

  Thanks

  Without the complete code is impossible to replicate it.

  You should, besides posting code, tell us what instrument, TF and backtest range it is.

  This problem is obvious, you cannot use an instruction with a period of 0, it is the case in your code at line 24, with the Highest instruction.

  Replace line 23 with

  CAND = max(1,BarIndex - TradeIndex)

  1	CAND = max(1,BarIndex - TradeIndex)

  to make sure CAND is not 0.
