Trailing Profit after Sell signal triggered

[stefy]

Hi everyone

I'm developing a simple trading system, where I get a Sell signal and then I want to hold the position further (trailing profit), until another condition is met.

How can I do that? Should I set up a Variable or how else?

Many thanks to everyone

Your question is very broad. Take a look in the Educational section of this forum and review all the reference samples for some ideas.

I looked into the educational section already.

My question is simple, really: I generate a sell signal, but I don't want it to fire immediately, but to wait for the first bar closing below previous bar low to kick off.

The system should "remember" when the first condition fired, and then wait for the second condition to happen to generate the actual signal.

How can I do that?

Many thanks

Thanks for clarifying -

- Create a bool variable
- Set this variable to true when the 1st condition is met
- Check on this variable if true and the 2nd condition for your entry
