CBOT help needed
22 Apr 2021, 16:29


Could someone please help me with my cbot? Basically on my chart I have set up two indicators:

SMA 1- Simple Moving Average set to 3 periods (source - HIGH)

SMA 2- Simple Moving Average set to 3 periods (source - LOW)

 

CBOT Action:

When price moves 5 pips ABOVE SMA 1 execute a SELL trade

When price moves 5 pips BELOW SMA 2 execute a BUY trade

 

Trade BUY/SELL Execute Settings

Trade Amount 10,000

Stop loss - 5 pips

Take profit - 5 pips

 

Conclusion

I believe I've managed to get the buy trade working but I can't get the sell trade to execute. Also having trouble with the setting to get it to execute the trade when price is 5 pips above SMA 1 or 5 pips below SMA 2.

ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED:
