Take signals only once based on a trend

[ninjamouse]

Hi there

When writing a strategy when I have a signal to go long or short AND take 5 ticks of profit, how do I make sure it DOES NOT take another 5 ticks of the next bar i.e. I only want 5 ticks ONCE until I get another signal.

thanks

I agree, I am setting up a strategy that once it closes and hits the target, if the conditions (ie MACD diff is below MACD avrg) are still true it goes back in a trade. like ninjamouse said, how can i set it until it gets a new signal.

NinjaMouse, I am going to look around the forum, if i find something, i will paste it here.

Enjoy!

Have you tried setting a user variable Boolean to TRUE when you enter the trade, then don't allow a new trade in that direction if TRUE? The New signal can do the opposite.
