This is demonstration of how to set up a strategy that will not whipsaw trades on the same bar as entry. I seemed to have that problem with a lot of the strategies that I wrote that were designed to reverse in the market if conditions reversed, which is why I wrote this, as an example template.

The strategy keeps you always in the market until either:

The profit target is hit; or
The stop loss is hit; or
Market conditions reverse.

Either of the first 2 exit conditions takes you flat; the 3rd condition causes an immediate reversal from long to short, or short to long, as the case may be.

To stay always in regardless, use excessively large stops and targets.

By using this code, you accept all responsibility for any results that may occur. This is not a recommendation to use the code to trade any equity in a live market.

Any investments, trades and/or speculations using this code are made solely at your own risk, financial or otherwise. Results will be dependent on market conditions, timing and your trading style.

If you disagree with these conditions, please do NOT use the code.
