Hi Ryan, looks like you would need to comment the checkPositions() call out since it's not defined anywhere in your code, hence the compiler would not know how to interpret it.

Thanks

Would you be able to show me how do do this, I am just learning so im struggling

Sure, the attached file would for example compile, as the erroneous call is commented out.

Did you already check through our broad range of tutorials for coding?

If not, then I would highly suggest doing so, it provides a solid base to further more advanced works.

I have been through them but I am still stuck with this and have been for days, hopefully someone on here will be helpfull enough to show me axactly how to remidy the errors I have made so I know how to do it going forward.

I am not a programmer so basicaly need to be tought how to suck eggs..

Cheers

Have you looked through the file I posted? This would compile and you could then compare to your own works. You basically called a method (checkPositions()) that never existed, hence the compiler took offense.

Thanks for your help Bertrand. Much appreciated.

Now I just have tyo figure out why the strategy is not making any trades ;-)

You're welcome, easiest would be adding to draw a visual object as well on your conditions triggering the entry, this way you have an easy doublecheck when and where exactly they trigger. If you wouldn't see anything drawn, then you would know that none have triggered and you would need to use not as strict rules for example or simplify the condition down to a level when it triggers as you expect and only then add more complexity to the strategy.
