hold position open until minimum target is met even after an exit condition is met

[micaeliglesias]

good morning, could you help me to find out how to create a condition in s. builder, so that a trade is not closed until a minimum of points is obtained? i.e., if my condition is given to exit a bet but the position has not yet reached the minimum target I have set, the position will remain open until the target size is met. thank you very much.

Hello micaeliglesias,

You can calculate the target price when the entry is submitted (or the position changes) and save this to a variable and then in the conditions compare the close price to be greater than this variable.

These examples linked below provide sample code of calculating a price and saving this to a variable that you can adapt to your needs.
