Hello, I would like to make the algorithm eventually liquidate the trades that go through rather than hold on to them indefinately.
Would anyone know how to add to the code so that if the command to buy (if the previous price is below the lower band and the current price >= lower band) goes through, it would then liquidate if the price = middle band?

I made an attempt but it is wrong
