trades opening and closing within seconds of each other

Hey GUys
I am new here. I read the sticky and it didnt help. I have a no trades then a condition and then a buy and then a sell. I followed a youtube video of what I wanted and it still didnt work. It keeps opening a trade and then almost immediately selling it even though my conditions say buy when the three candles behind are bull and sell on the reverse of that. Any ideas?

Since you are new, I'll say this to you. If someone picks through this for you, it can take them a lot of time to find the problem plus you will have learned nothing.
What I suggest is that:
-
You start from scratch and build this expert again using only the most necessary parts. Eg. get rid of the trailing stop, just build the buy side branch to begin with, use fixed pips stop etc. Test it at every stage to check if it's doing what you think it should.
-
When you're satisfied that your expert is doing what it should at that stage, then add another piece and so on.
-
If you get stuck using the above method, then post again. Because you built it from the ground up, you will be able to tell where exactly it's going wrong (ie which piece that you added caused it to go wrong) and I think you will have a much better chance of getting help.
Cheers

@jordanburch I dont get any trades in backtest

If you backtest your project at every stage as you build it the way I said, you wont have this problem.
I'll help you get started. Backtest the project below then start adding the other components and remember to test after each change you make.
