Is it possible that I can buy back 30 ticks below the entry on the same bar (if the low goes down that far) if not then the 1st bar that the low gets low enough to buy back at 30 ticks below the entry?

 

 

Just noticed your edited part, yes you can. Remove the red line below:

 

if mp = -1 then begin

buytocover ("ProfitTarget") next bar at ShortEntry - (ProfTarget*mintick) limit;

buytocover ("StoppedOut") next bar at mystop stop;

end;

 

and the add this to the bottom of the script:

 

setprofittarget( x );

 

Note: the profit target is now in dollar amount rather than number of ticks.

 

Cheers

And I'm not completely sure if you understood what I meant (probably because of my terrible english but anyway :P )

 

I mean that once the entry has taken place it sells 30 ticks below the entry the 1st chance it gets. If it is the same bar that has made the profit target of 30 ticks or 2 bars along it will buytocover the 1st chance it gets. (providing the stoploss hasen't bought back anyway)

 

Once again much thanks,

Darknite.

Thanks,

 

Is it possible I could do it a different way.

 

Instead of looking for the pattern on data2

 

I look for the pattern on data1 and trade on data2?

 

Cheers,

Datknite.

 

I don't think you can trade a strategy off data2, I'm pretty sure it has to be data1, I'll look into it after hours, unless someone else can verify.

Cheers I'll post more info in the morning (was out sorry)

 

For some reason the strategy does not work.

 

I've done exactly as you said, i'll show you some screen shots and what it's meant to be. It doesn't seem to trade 30 tick profit. It is usually between 2 to about 70 ticks but never 30...

strange :S

 

Cheers,

Darknite.

Remove these lines below:

 

if mp = -1 then begin

buytocover ("StoppedOut") next bar at mystop stop;

end;

 

and the add this to the bottom of the script:

 

setstoploss( x );

 

Note: Same as setprofittarget, the setstoploss is now in dollar amount rather than number of ticks.

Cheers,

 

But is this so I can set the amount in dollars above the high or the amount in dollars it gains from the entry?

 

Would I have to put something like.

 

setstoploss (high + 10)

 

if I wanted 10 dollars above the high or what?

 

Lol, thanks once again.

No, the setstoploss is in dollar amount only from your entry point.

 

What you require is in the original script, but I suspect you must be using a larger timeframe and have come across occasions when your stop would have been taken out on your bar of entry, but since the code only sends the stop order out 1 bar after entry, you're taking a bigger hit. Would I be correct in thinking this?

 

If so then you would have to send out your order via a 1min chart ( using 3 sets of data ) ........... now where did I put that can of worms :o

No, by that comment I meant me :doh:

 

I'll tell you what, instead of all this too-ing and fro-ing, explain exactly what you require ( eg, symbols, timeframes, targets, stoploss, etc ) and any little problems you've come across and I'll sort it out. You can send it by PM if you wish.

Here's the code you require but it has an error in it that I can seem to get rid of at the moment. As you'll see in the charts below, first one is great with entry and exits perfect, but then on the second chart, it seems to fire off an order on a second bar if the first bar had entry & profit target all within the same bar. :bang head:

 

All I can say is try it out and let me know how you get on.

 

Inputs:

ProfTarget(30),StopLoss(2 ),endtime(2000);

 

Vars:

ShortEntry(0), Permission(0), Mintick(0), mystop(0), MP(0);

 

MP = marketposition;

Mintick = minmove/pricescale;

 

Condition1 = C[1] data3 >C[2] data3 and H data3 > H [1]data3 and H data3 > H[2] data3 and C data3 < O data3;

 

if condition1 and MP = 0 and time < endtime then begin

ShortEntry = Low of data2 - (1*mintick);

mystop = High of data2 + (Stoploss*mintick);

permission = 1;

end;

 

if permission = 1 and mro(mp=-1,7,1) = -1 then begin

SellShort next bar at ShortEntry Stop;

Permission = 0;

end;

 

if permission[2] = 1 then permission = 0;

 

if mp = -1 then begin

buytocover ("StoppedOut") next bar at mystop stop;

end;

 

if mp = -1 and time > endtime then setexitonclose;

 

setprofittarget( ProfTarget );

attachment.php?attachmentid=5819&stc=1&d=1207089229

 

 

( Note: Set up your chart like in the pics above, 5 min of stock on data1, 30 min of stock on data2 and $INDU on data3 )

 

Cheers

ok I think i've nearly sorted this out now (finally)

I think I only need to add one last bit of code in.

That would be only 1 trade maximum between every natural hour is allowed.

 

So for more depth:

 

If there is a setup and it sells short once it has made it's profittarget of 30 ticks it buys to cover. A new trade can not be initiated until the natural hour is up.

 

For example if it sells short at the time of 13:08 and buys to cover at:

13:59 - it can make a new trade at 14:00

or

14:01 - it can only make a new trade ar 15:00

 

Thanks,

Darknite.

Yes it's do-able, but I'm away now for a week, so I'll look into it when I get back, unless someone else sorts it out in the meantime.

Give this a try:

 

Inputs:

ProfTarget(30),StopLoss(2 ),endtime(2000);

 

Vars:

ShortEntry(0), Permission(0), Mintick(0), mystop(0), MP(0);

 

MP = marketposition;

Mintick = minmove/pricescale;

 

Condition1 = C[1] data3 >C[2] data3 and H data3 > H [1]data3 and H data3 > H[2] data3 and C data3 < O data3;

 

if condition1 and MP = 0 and time < endtime and permission = 0 then begin

ShortEntry = Low of data2 - (1*mintick);

mystop = High of data2 + (Stoploss*mintick);

permission = 1;

end;

 

if permission = 1 and mro(mp=-1,7,1) = -1 then begin

SellShort next bar at ShortEntry Stop;

Permission = 2;

end;

 

if permission = 2 and mod(t,100)=0 and mp <> 0 then permission = 2;

if permission = 2 and mod(t,100)=0 and mp = 0 then permission = 0;

 

if mp = -1 then begin

buytocover ("StoppedOut") next bar at mystop stop;

end;

 

if mp = -1 and time > endtime then setexitonclose;

 

setprofittarget( ProfTarget );

 

Cheers

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
