Here is a simple module that converts any End of Candle strategy into an Intraday module. With Targets, Stoploss, Alerts, and PNL Dashboard controls. This code brings down the complexity of coding, which the majority of the intraday traders face while building a simple trading system with various controls.

Features of the Module
- Intraday Module with Stoploss and Target Management
- All in One Alerts (Arrow Alert, Label Alert, Voice Alert, Sound Alert, Email Alert, Telegram Alert)
- Profit/Loss Dashboard
- Drag and Drop on Any of your simple End of the candle strategy rest intraday module will take care.
- Time-Based Intraday Controls with Number of Entry/Exit – Limit
Steps to use the module
1)Download the AFL Code and Store it as Intraday.afl under any of the Amibroker Formulas Folder.
2)Ensure your strategy has Buy,sell,short,cover parameters. Apply your trading system on a blank chart and drag and drop the Intraday.afl on top of your trading system
3)if your strategy doesnt has short and cover variables use short =0; and cover = 0; in your code before dragging and dropping
4)Use the code only on Top of End of Candle Strategy and not on tough based trading system
5)Avoid giving any trade delay in your strategy as it is already handles inside the module
Amibroker AFL Code – Intraday Module
//Intraday Module - Readymade Module (Drag and Drop on top of your trading strategy)
//Built in Target and Stoploss Based Exit (Touch based Exit)
//Regular Exit(Close of Candle) and Time Based Exit(Close of Candle)
//Warning : Use the Module only on top of End of candle strategy
//Avoid giving any delay in your strategy as it is already handles inside the module

I am seeing a use case issue when we are using “ExitTradeTime” to square off position at end of the day.
Say i have have a short position initiated at 2:30PM and position gets squared off at “ExitTradeTime “.
Next day first signal that is getting triggered is only opposite signal (Buy) only. not a short Short signal even if it exists.
Similar case when last trade of day is buy, the following day first trade is only Short but not new buy.
@pradeep, @rajendran, I am waiting for answer to @pradeep’s question too. Thank you
I am an Algomojo user and have opened a TradeJini account through you. I am very close to deploying my Amibroker algo strategy through Algomojo. For this, I request you to provide the option to set Cost Stop Loss after gaining Specific Point Profit (which can be changed as per requirement) in the following module. I have no knowledge of afl coding so please help me.
