Stop triggered (Ichimoku)

  Hi

  I’m using the Ichimoku and I’d like to exit a short position if the close price of the previous candle goes above the Tenkan or Kijun lines + a few pips (yellow and orange lines on the picture). The problem is that the stop is triggered even if the price never goes up those two lines (see picture). The problem is caused by “(close[1] > KijunSen1[1]+ExitTenkanKijun*pipsize”. If I change [1] to [0] it works and doesn’t trigger the stop. Why ? The Tenkan part of the code doesn’t cause any problem. Thanks

   

  Tenkansen1 = (highest[9](high)+lowest[9](low))/2 Kijunsen1 = (highest[26](high)+lowest[26](low))/2 If (close[1] > Tenkansen1[1]+ExitTenkanKijun*pipsize) OR (close[1] > KijunSen1[1]+ExitTenkanKijun*pipsize) Then EXITSHORT AT MARKET Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  Tenkansen1 = (highest[9](high)+lowest[9](low))/2 Kijunsen1 = (highest[26](high)+lowest[26](low))/2   If (close[1] > Tenkansen1[1]+ExitTenkanKijun*pipsize) OR (close[1] > KijunSen1[1]+ExitTenkanKijun*pipsize) Then EXITSHORT AT MARKET Endif

  I specify that if I write the price of the Kijunsen line instead of KijunSen1[1], it works well…

  Solved, I had defined the tenkansen1 and Kijunsen1 variables outside the TIMEFRAME, without defining these variables for every timeframes
