This may be caused by the sell script

price = xxx - SubtractFromLow - xxx, instead of price = xxx - SubtractFromLowPips - xxx,

because the code failed to make a call to extern int SubtractFromLowPips = xxx ?

A typo error ?

The buy script works just fine.

pete

SubtractFromLow is a doubles converter for for the int SubtractFromLowPips , and is set in init(). An integer divided by factor results in zero, which is why the int needs converting.

I present users with integer inputs that the code then converts, so they will enter pips as pips and not be bugged by the x digit bollocks.

Hi Steve,

Why we have a spread calculated in the sell script? We need it only in the buy script. If we want to set up sell stop we need only Subtract form low pips not spread because spread will be calculated on the closing of the trade! For example if low from last candle is 1.3300 we need trade on the 1.3298 (2 pips bellow) but we get trade 2 pips bellow + spread, if spread is two pips our sell will be opened at 1.3296 instead of 1.3298, because of spread calculated in the script, but we know the criminal will take spread on the closing if we are in the sell.

Thank you in advance

Because that is what the op asked for.

Please can you change this?
Thank you

This script is almost exactly what I have been looking for. To be able to drag and drop a script onto a chart at 06.00 when I can barely see through the haze of early morning rise brain and eye freeze is fantastic. I love the candle shift element - this is just brilliant. I say almost because what would make this really useful is a breakeven point, jumping stop loss so that you can take advantage of the trade at say 30 or whatever PIP increments I see fit as it progresses without finding that the price went to +5000 PIP's ( exaggeration ) and then retraced to +10 PIP's or even worse taken out by the SL for a losing trade. It would almost be like finding out that you could have paid off the mortgage only to find that your earning would only take care of the toilet roll bill. Steve Hopwood, or anyone have you made any adjustments to this script to include these additional settings ? It would be fantastiche if you have.
Cheers for now
