Basic priciple is:
1.open Sell position when red arrow appear,
2open buy position when white arrow appear and automaticly close all th esell position/positions.

I'm using trailing stops on my EAs (3 step trailing), but I want to do the inverted thing to protect losses.
I will try to explain:

I open an order, with a initial stop loss.
If the trade go 15 pips in loss direction and come back 10 pips, close the trade (first step).
If the trade go 30 pips in loss direction and come back 15 pips, close the trade (second step).


Something like this.

Thanks for the help

So, the losing trade closing always need to wait until it bounce back right?
How about if it doen't bounceback?
Will we close at the intial SL?

I know it will involve an array of some sort but I'm not having luck figuring out what group of code will make this happen.

I don't know if anyone is familiar with Forex Made-EZ by George Smith.
I'm currently reviewing his work and wondered if anyone has coded an indicator for the Oscar oscillator he uses?

The formula is

let A = the highest high of the last eight bars (including this one)
let B = the lowest low of the past eight bars (including this one)
let C = current bars closing price
let X = the previous oscillator figure (Oscar)

Today's "rough" oscillator equals (C-B) divided by (A-B) times 100.

Next we "smooth" our rough number (let's call it Y) like this:

Final oscillator number = ((X divided by 3) times 2), plus (Y divided by 3).

If anyone has either coded this or can code this it would be highly appreciated.

Regards Steve
