Hi,

Taking a quick skim of your code, looks like you've actually got several errors in there that need fixing first.

Specifically; "=" is assignment (as in store the value from the right side into the variable on the left side), whereas "==" is an equivalence test (as in a boolean test of whether the left side holds the same value as the right side).

So, all your IIf statements that are using "=" need to be converted to use "==". Same for all your BarsSince calls.

Then, to set your Buy/Sell logic, use the equivalence operator again.

e.g. assuming TD3 holds your signals:

Buy = (TD3 == 1);
Sell = (TD3 == -1);

Mike
