Hi,

I tried to figure out how to do this myself but I'm having difficulties understanding the wiki.

I wanted to create a simple algo with time and number variable, which goes like this:

Pair: Variable
Time of Trade: Variable (08:05)
Benchmark Price: Variable (for example 1.3700)
Lot: Variable

Opening Logic:
If "Current Price" is higher than benchmark by 5 pips at time 08.05, buy at market
if "Current Price" is lower than benchmark by 5 pips at time 08.05, sell at market

Closing Logic:
If "Long", set TP 50 pips higher than benchmark, SL 10 pips lower
if "Short", set TP 50 pips lower than benchmark, SL 10 pips higher

Any help is much appreciated.

Best,

Iskandar

Hi Bruno,

Thank you very much for the help. Just one question - I notice in the vjfx the SL/TP is calculated from the position open price. How to calculate the SL/TP based on benchmark price instead? i.e. 50 pips away from the benchmark.

Make your calculation with a mathematical block and put the result in a variable.
Then, use this variable as SL.
