Stop Loss and Take Profit set but not working

Skilium

Hello, I am trying to code a bot based on Bollinger Bands.
The stop loss I want to use is set correctly when a trade is opened yet every trade is closed at random prices (sometimes more than double the pips I set).
The take profit is instead set to trigger when a candle crosses the upper band and this works fine if I use it to open a trade, but it seems it doesn't work when used as a take profit somehow since every trade is closed not at the first close over the band but is closed in a (random) following close.
The code for these are both onBar, but I tried to open the position onTick and the stop loss is still executed wrong.

Hi, it seems your code logic is incorrect, this is not something we can help with using our free coding service.

@"Mike"#p2583 How can it be incorrect logic if the variable works as expected when used as an entry, but works randomly when used as a take profit? Genuinely asking. It is the same variable used for both since it checks the same thing anyway

I think what Mike is saying is that your code is wrong, you should instead post your source code below, no one can help you if they cannot see your code.
