Using the spreadsheet system for trading:

I would like to add a formula that says if the last trade was a "SELL" and that trade lost money, then the next trade must be a "BUY" (or cannot be a "SELL")

J44: tells me profit/loss on ht prior trade
J7: tells me whether the prior trade was profitable

But, how do I tell SC that the next trade must be a BUY?


Here's what I've got so far:
if(and($j$44<0,$j$7<0),and($j$4>0,$j$5>0,$j$8>0),???)


thank you.

This is a quick code block.
I did not test it, so your mileage may vary.
You may/will need to modify it to fit your spreadsheet.

**In an H cell place this code relating to a SEll:
**ASSUMING THAT ITS THE $H$4 CELL
=IF(AND($J$44< 0,$J$7< 0),1, IF(J$8 > 0,0,IF(ISBLANK($H$4),0,$H$4)))



**In an H cell place this code relating to a BUY:
**ASSUMING THAT ITS THE $H$5 CELL
=IF(AND($J$44< 0,$J$7> 0),1, IF(J$8 < 0,0,IF(ISBLANK($H$5),0,$H$5)))


**IN $M$3 SELL ENTRY ADD TO YOUR ENTRY CODE:
$H$4=0

**IN $K$3 BUY ENTRY CELL ADD TO YOUR ENTRY CODE:
$H$5=0
