What is maximum number of conditions you can enter, for a trade to execute 'automatically'?

I have worked through 9 (nine) conditions for a 'set up' , to trade one of the futures [thirty minute time frame] [trend indicator, EMA, etc. , etc ] that ROCKS! :) .

I click on the little asterisk, have all the nine conditions pre-copied/paste 'em in and WHEN IT TAKES IT ALL....AND 'WORKS'

-it makes money every trade :)

>>THE PROBLEM is, it does not always execute the trade 'properly'.

I have been on CS with ThinkSwim for long periods of time, often, trying to get explanation(s) why it's not doing what I enter..and I have just got to the point where I think nine conditions, for the system, is "to much"...

and that is why the conditions, although listed plainly, just do not always "trigger" properly

???

***

Can anybody help?

What "real world' knowledge/experience does anybody have 'maxing out their system?

>> What is the maximum number of conditions I can enter,,,that won't "screw up" ??

:) :) :)
 
Solution
There are strategies on this forum that use up to a hundred conditions that "trigger properly".
The number of conditions in of themselves would not cause an issue.
You are limited to 200 lines of code in a conditional order.
The workaround is to create a script; save it as a study; reference the study in the condition wizard.

you are not thoroughly describing where you are using your code.

are you trying to add your code as a condition on an order?
sorry, i am not familiar with them.
