Hello janio973,

Thank you for your post.

Does adding a condition that Current Market Position must equal MarketPosition.Flat in the conditions for each entry resolve what you are seeing?

If not, please provide screenshots of your current entry/exit logic including any stops and targets.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello janio973,

Thank you for your reply.

I don't see that you have added conditions to check whether the position is flat before submitting an entry:



Add one of these conditions to your entry set as well as your exit set and this will keep it from reversing the positions rather than using the stop and target.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

My sl and tp is working now,thanks so much,can I ask you some more help:
1-when the price reach my tp,instead of close my trade,I wanted to know what condition I need to make for my trade go breakeven at tp price(not breakeven at entry),so I can profit of more mouvement in my way if there is some.
2-if price continues to go in my way ,my order follow by some ticks and close if it reverse 3 or 4 ticks for example.

Hello janio,

Thank you for your reply.

Breakeven and trailing functions in the Strategy Builder can get pretty complicated. There is a basic trail stop and a parabolic stop (moves in approximately the same path as the Parabolic SAR indicator) that can be used from the stops and targets screen that are pretty basic and will trail towards profit from the time they are entered. However, for more complex action as you describe, you would need to use Exit orders in sets on the Conditions and Actions screen.

Two examples of breakeven functionality may be found in this forum post:

An example of trailing stop functionality may be found in this forum post as well:
