Hello RemonH,

Thanks for the post.

Can you provide more details on what part of this you needed help with?

Are you currently trying something which is not working?

For what you described you would need to use multiple conditions and some logic. You would need to know when the initial condition became true. At that point you could save a price and check if the following bars after that are increasing or decreasing. Based on that you could determine if the current price has pulled back from a preset amount.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello RemonH,

Are you manually coding the strategy or using the builder?

If you have an entry condition to make it see a pull back you would need to use that entry condition as a signal to start other logic which checks for the pull back. Rather than entering right away you could store the price at that time and use it for calculations in other conditions.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
