Strategy Builder Condition -prevent executing when price goes in opposite direction

[ChrisC]

This is what I am trying to prevent.



I have what I think is a good strategy. The only place it fails is when the price reverses in the same candle like in the image above.
I am writing this condition but it is being ignored. I am sure I am not writing it correctly.


Would very much appreciate someone correcting me. For a sell, in the same bar, I want to write the price going down for a condition. Seems simple enough, and yet my brain is not working this morning.

Thank you in advance

Hello, thanks for writing in. One thing to note about using the Ask price is that, underneath, it uses GetCurrentAsk() to get this value, which returns the Close[0] price in the historical state. Only in real time, it will give you the actual Ask price. Another good way to solve bugs in custom strategies is to use the Misc>Print action in your actions list. This can print out the data your strategy is using so you can see why your conditions are triggering despite what you think you have set up in the conditions list.
