{quote} Yes last closed is 1. I was talking about the current candle 0. Where you're looking for a trade, the High[2] isn't higher than High[1]. And your "sell @GR candle" isn't correct as your code is Ask <= Low[2] ... which is comparing the current Ask price (within the big red candle) with the low of 2 candles before (the red one).

{image} It's simple all I want is the code to place a sell after the green hammer candle in the picture above, It's ok if you can't manage it my friend it's caught me out, I just thought I would just change a couple of numbers etc and it would be fine but I've had it every way possible and still cant get it to drop a sell in just after the green candle. Thanks for trying. Geoff the 2 ma lines are 5 and 8 ema in a sell position

if (
   MAfast < MAslow &&
   High[2] > High[1] &&
   Bid >= High[2] && // Sell at or above the high of the green candle
   GETORDERS(my_Orderdata) == 0 &&
   my_Orderdata.AllowSell )
{
   // Place sell order here
}

if (
    MAfast < MAslow &&
    High[2] > High[1] &&           // Candle [2] was green
    High[1] >= High[2] &&          // Price broke above it (candle [1])
    Bid <= Open[1] &&              // Now retracing back down
    GETORDERS(my_Orderdata) == 0 &&
    my_Orderdata.AllowSell )
{
     // Sell on pullback after breakout
}

Hi, You are quoting bid? you must be looking at the wrong green candle, I am wanting to sell below the green candle marked with a white line. Geoff

Also, during the strategy tester, turn on visual mode and see the bid/ask prices. Your logic might be correct and the real issue could be spread or slippage Note on bid/ask: Using Ask for sell orders will cause entries at incorrect price levels due to the spread offset.

{quote} Hi, This is the best I can get and your figures made no difference but I appreciate you trying to help, the pictures are from strategy tester visual, its not great where it is trading from and it may be the spread, who knows, try it yourself I will attach it try if you like or bin it, I am interested in perfection only when I can get it. I've only been coding for about 11 years but I've been in software all my life, daft things like this bug me. Regards Geoff Hornibrook {file} {image} {image}
