I am trying to invert my Trading Algo, any clues?

New comment

Hi, I have an RSI-Trader EA I made that simply makes trades at certain RSI levels at different changeable RSI settings. Some pairs it works fine on some pairs not so much. I want to know why when I try to invert the trading mechanism, so that  in the two different if, else brackets instead of buy the EA sells and instead of sell the EA buys, using a 1:1 Ratio, that when I rerun the algo I would get inverted results on the pairs that did not perform. When I switched the place of the buy and sell functions, and re-ran the algo the results where different but not completely inverted. Any clues?

Here is the code:

Maybe because you switch only the functions? What about SL and TP ?? 😁
