Anyone that can recommend any tips for me optimize the code?

Wow. That looks crazy good. I've been looking at the coding to understand it better and I can't seem to find out where the problem lies.

Can someone help me understand why just changing the units makes a huge difference? Thank you

When I, updated the units (x)units it automatically set the units to 15000 and the results are amazing, however when I put 100,000 it's showing me terrible results. I find this crazy fascinating.

Eventhough I've set the backtest time frame for a year, only one trade occurs on the 17th of Oct 2019

Thank you @DSchenk! I've entered the code on to the platform and seems to work, however on the ftse100 it seems to only work on the 5minute intervals and only 1 trade occured. Have I somehow messed up the code? if so could you please assist me. Thank you so much for sharing great information by the way, it means a lot! E.

Hello @DSchenk, Thanks for the reply. I have never coded previously and I cant seem to input your parameters on prorealtime through the easy method. Thank you, E.

Hello, I am new to pro real time and I am very interested in your strategy, I've tried but so far have failed to implement your strategy on my own pro real time platform. Can you help me with how I could add this and would this trading strategy for all stocks and indices? Thank you, E.
