Hi Howard,
I would like to exit 5 days later if there isn't 2% gain, but I would like to
keep it and let it run if there is already a 2% gain and let my 15% profit
target stop take care of the exit.

Greetings --
See if this helps. Note I've changed the 5% to 2% -- there are not many 5%
gains in 5 days.
Thanks,
Howard

Can someone please point me in the direction of how I would go about
coding this?
Exit Rules --> I would like to exit 5 bars after entry if open profit
is <5% gain.
Thank you for your help.
