Hi

Saw a video where a zone recovery strategy was proposed. So I decided to build something like that. The strategy does the following:

1: First trade is done from certain aspects of MACD (if MACD get to 0 (I had to make a small zone here to make the strategy open orders), open a long at market. If MACD crosses MACD signal open a short order). This the strategy should only do if there are 0 trades open.
2: Whenever all positions get a certain profit in pips, close all open positions, and start again looking at MACD.
3: The zone recovery part enters if the last open position has reached a certain level of loss in pips. If this leve is reached the strategy opens a position of opposite type of the last opened position at X-times the last position size. This new position then becomes the "attention" of the strategy, if this position reaches the max loss in pips designated, a new position opens as per the same rules above.
4: Still if all positions get to the profit level in pips designated, all orders will be closed and the strategy starts over.

So when I test this strategy in the historical tester the strategy opens one first position as it is intended to do (at minimum trade amount). However when I test it in actual trading time via demo account, it opens positions like crazy. Also I noticed that when it closes positions per the "when all positions are X-pips in profit close all positions") the strategy spams the "close all open positions" to the program. So the question is, how can i prevent the program from spamming both the open at market order, and the close all open positions commands? I have in desperation added a lot of "if" blocks trying to limit opened order, pending orders, all orders to 1 to no avail.

Hi,

This looks typically a problem of instrument and trading period subscription. It should behave identically as VJF Htester when these filters are added.
