MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

sorry for my English writing ... but I wanted to know if you can stop a trendline after an input. I tried to write the following code but it does not work. How can you do?

if(MarketPosition= -1) then begin
if BarsSinceEntry=1 then
tl_setend(tlUP,date[0],time[0],entryprice);
end;

Regards

You have to describe your problem in more detail.

What do you mean by "...but it does not work"?

At the minimum, you have to draw a diagram to illustrate what you want to do,
and what is the stumbling block?

ok .. thanks TJ .. let me explain better ....in attached, I send an image of the chart and explanations of what I would do.
That is, end the trendline after making an entrance Long or Short.

The code I wrote is: ...but it does not work, in the sense that even after making an 'entry, the trendline is not terminated.
Is it possible do it?

That is, end the trendline after making an entrance Long or Short.

The code I wrote is:

Code: Select all

if(MarketPosition= -1) then begin
if BarsSinceEntry=1 then
tl_setend(tlUP,date[0],time[0],entryprice);
end;

If the trend line should also be extended after making a new enter long trade, checking for just `MarketPosition = -1` is not sufficient (since that will only check for short).

I would adjust the above code snippet to:
If you have a reproducible code example, we can offer more help.

Thanks JoshM,
letting loose the code that I wrote, I would like to know if there is a way to stop/break the trendline just made an 'entry. (see the attached image file to the previous post)

thanks
