  Hi,

  Good morning and hope you are in good health.

  Please can you check the following code – the program does not like lines 12 & 17.

  //BUYDAX01 Q = 0.5 Q3 = Q * 3 Q32 = Q3 * 2 OFFSET = 5.0 BUY Q PERPOINT AT MARKET // If the above BUY is executed THEN to place a SELL pending order If LongOnMarket THEN SELL Q3 PERPOINT AT (TRADEPRICE - OFFSET) ENDIF // If the above SELL is executed THEN to place a BUY pending order IF ShortOnMarket THEN BUY Q32 PERPOINT AT (TRADEPRICE + OFFSET) ENDIF // Stops and targets : Enter your protection stops and profit targets here

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

  //BUYDAX01   Q = 0.5 Q3 = Q * 3 Q32 = Q3 * 2 OFFSET = 5.0   BUY Q PERPOINT AT MARKET   // If the above BUY is executed THEN to place a SELL pending order If LongOnMarket THEN SELL Q3 PERPOINT AT (TRADEPRICE - OFFSET) ENDIF   // If the above SELL is executed THEN to place a BUY pending order IF ShortOnMarket THEN BUY Q32 PERPOINT AT (TRADEPRICE + OFFSET) ENDIF   // Stops and targets : Enter your protection stops and profit targets here

  Firstly OFFSET could not have a 1:1 ratio with price, so you’d better write it as

  OFFSET = 5.0 * pipsize

  1	OFFSET = 5.0 * pipsize

  Secondly TRADEPRICE is not known until a bar has elapsed since you last opened a position, thus it can be 0 the very first trade or the closing price of the previously closed trade.

  patel_kaushik – Always use the ‘Insert PRT Code’ button when posting code in any future topics to make it easier for other to read/copy – as per the forum rules. I have tidied up your last post.
