    This works well for us on 180 min bars. Stocks like MSFT, QQQ etc with pre and after market bars enabled. Play around, you might find it interesting.
    Cheers,

    Input:
    K(1),
    Rate(0.14);

    If UpTicks > DownTicks Then
    Buy Next Bar At Close - Rate Limit;
    If UpTicks < DownTicks Then
    SellShort Next Bar At Close + Rate Limit;



    If MarketPosition = 1 Then
    Sell Next Bar at EntryPrice + Rate/K Limit;

    If MarketPosition = -1 Then
    BuyToCover Next Bar at EntryPrice - Rate/K Limit;

    Thanks Abogdan.

    Could you elaborate a little more on some of these terms?

    What is k?
    What is rate?

    By market position +-1 do you mean in the red or in the black by one point?

    This sounds like code language for one of the trading platforms that I don't have. Which one is it?

    Any hints about how well it works?

    Thanks again,

    JohnnyK

    Sorry, I should of mentioned that this is a code for Trade Station.

    I'll explain the meaning of the symbols a little bit later when I will have a couple of minutes.

    Cheers,
