tradingest,

I don't see your code in your image, if you can post it I might be able to steer you into the right direction.

Here is my code:

 

Code

Inputs: PriceL(Low), LeftStrengthL(3), RightStrengthL(3), PriceH(High), LeftStrengthH(3), RightStrengthH(3); Variable: PivotL(0), PivotH(0), SMA(0), BuyFlag3(false), N(1), MP(0); MP = MarketPosition; SMA = Average(C,50); if PivotHighVSBar( 1, PriceH, LeftStrengthH, RightStrengthH, RightStrengthH + 1 ) <> -1 Then Begin PivotH = High[RightStrengthH]; BuyFlag3 = true; End; If MP = 0 Then Begin If BuyFlag3 = true //and PivotH > SMA Then Begin Buy N contract next bar at PivotH + 1 point stop; BuyFlag3 = false; End; End; Setprofittarget(1000*N); Setstoploss(1000*N)

Thanks a lot,

tradingest,

you reset your BuyFlag3 at the time you send your order. This means on the next bar, the order condition wouldn't be fulfilled anymore and therefore your order would be cancelled, unless filled before of course.
The easiest way might be to store the bar number at the time you set the flag to true and when CurrentBar > SavedBarNumber + X (where X would be the number of bars the order should be valid) or the MarketPosition > 0 (which would indicate an entry), you set the buy flag to false.
