Buy and Exit

[johni 10]

anyone has a sample code for the following?

 

buy whn stoch<30 and exit 5 bars from entry

 

if next day stoch is <30 buy another unit and exit 5 bars from entry

 

if next next day stoch is <30 buy another unit and exit 5 bars from entry

 

try code them but the second and third entry all exit at the first exit altogether rather 5 bars from entry

Can't help you with actual code because you haven't specified what software it is.

 

But the problem is most likely that exit means exit the entire position - however much you have on.

 

So instead you can replace exit with sell one unit.

Hi Johni,

 

There are lots of ways you could do this. It's late at night, and this is the first way that springs into my tired brain (might not be the best):

 

If x<30 then begin
buy "EntryA" 1 contract this bar;
countA=1;
end;

if countA=1 and countA[4]=1 and countA[5]=0 then begin
sell "EntryA" 1 contract this bar;
countA=0;
end;

If x<30 and x[1]<30 then begin
buy "EntryB" 1 contract this bar;
countB=1;
end;

if countB=1 and countB[4]=1 and countB[5]=0 then begin
sell "EntryB" 1 contract this bar;
countB=0;
end;

 

You can suss out EntryC for yourself from this. You'll also need to set up the count variables.

 

Give it a go and let me know how you get on!
