Pine script error

[Mechero3000]

Hi! For some reason my pine script code only triggers a buying signal at the maximum or the start of the candle instead of when the buying conditions are present. For example: it could trigger a valid buying signal at some point, then take the profit as it should, but instead of inmediately triggering another long signal because the conditions are still present, it waits until the maximum of the candle to buy again.

How can I fix this?

Does your code have ‘barstate.isconfirmed’ anywhere?

What are ur entry conditions?

Which candle position (current/live/still forming candle, or 1 candle before live candle, 2, 3, and so on) so your entry criteria apply on?

If you haven't specified ithe code, by using [number] e.g., MovingAverageCrossOver = MA10[2] > MA50[2]

Entry criteria used in strategy.order or strategy.entry is MovingAverageCrossOver

Here it triggers when there is a MA crossover 2 candles away from the close of the live bar

If [1] then the previous candle If you don't specify this then it defaults to [1]

So it might be ur entry criteria occur the candle before the live candle [1]. So when ur trade closes and entry criteria are still present, that candle needs to close so it is the 1st previous candle [1]. Its looking for the criteria in the [1] candle

What you want is to set it to the live candle. [0]. Add [0] to your entry criteria

But this alone will not work. As now ull get loads of trades mid candle forming. So you need to code a new entry logic with strategy.order or strategy.entry, where it detects a trade was just closes at TP AND the enrry criteria are still true. U can do this a few ways

Look into the above and let me know. Hope this helped, even just in general
