variable calculation

[medicmiked]

Good morning. I have a question regarding variable calculations. I'll include a screenshot of the code, but what I'm trying to accomplish is 1) setting a stop loss based on an indicator plot value, 2) subtract that value from my average position price. 3) multiply that result by a user input profit multiplier, and 4) add it to my average position price to determine the price for my exit by limit order. The logic works on the initial order entry, but when the next candle updates and the indicator updates, all the math updates accordingly and moves my limit order down. I have the calculations set under a "marketposition.flat" set, but it seems to be recalculating on the next set while I'm long as well. As always, I appreciate your assistance!

Hello medicmiked,

Add debugging prints to the code to understand the behavior.

Below is a link to a support article on adding debugging prints to understand behavior.

Add a print with the bar time to the logic block of the condition assigning the variables values.
Are you seeing this is printing on bars you are not expecting?
If so, one line above the condition print all values in the condition with labels for each value and comparison operator.

Save the output from the output window (right-click Save as) and attach the output text file to your next post.
I will be happy to assist with analyzing the output.
