Same Strategy Indicator Different Values

Recommended Posts

i am facing a situation where a strategy and an indicator based exactly on the same code ( thoroughly checked )

are calculating different results for the same variables...

i have printed those results on a text files and the funny thing is that even within the strategy code the results are different for the same

variables if i change the maxbarsback settings from the strategie/properties tab...

 

the indicator is ploting the correct variables values though ( confirmed manually with the calculator )

even funnier from the middle of the chart ( 7 months of 1 min data ) the indicator and strategy sunchronize perfectly

 

 

 

/////indicator print ///// correct values

1.00 3.77 2.55 2.30 1090819.00date 931.00time 8886.00 barnumber

 

///// strategy print /////

 

-1.00 1.44 1.12 1.00 1090819.00date 931.00time 1701.00 barnumber

 

i dont even understand the nature of this problem .

i suspect it has to do with the variables off the code that take a lot of bars to calculate...

 

any i deas about how i can resolve this will be much appresiated

joking aside...

 

there are a number of possible scenarios,

and you are not providing a lot of info for debug...

 

 

one thing you should notice though,

is the barnumber is different.

 

i.e. your indicator and strategy are not starting their calculations from the same bar.

thus the difference in result.

 

you should set the MaxBarsBack to the same value.

i.e. don't use Auto Detect.

thanks

 

i have adjusted the maxbarsback settings so the indicator and strategy got sunchronized and they print the same values...

 

at the far left of the chart(beggining) the values are all over the place though

what is the typical way in easy langauge for the variables not to return any values untill

ALL the variables are calculated well ?

 

i am only declaring them

vars: value1(0),value2(0) ;

 

should i also initialize them?

( i initialize only summation variables so far)

 

as for the code itself to be honest i have waisted so much time on useless indicators that

i dont want to post anything that it is not finished and has some statistical bias..

i have a coupple of strategies that just survive and make a little so far...

 

i am only working in statisticks and with concepts that derrive from the maket own flow...

in the beggining i was trying to create " indicators" like take the fisher transormation that is quite smooth and has little lag and apply the smoothing part of the code

to an oscillator that preceeds price etc .....

although the results where very impresive to the eye

( i could post very impressive pics of the indicator in action )

it wouldnt stand a chance in the market as i know now.

 

why waste anybody time with smoke and mirrors ?

 

thanks again and regards

i think that its very nice of you to answer to all this questions

everyone in this site i assume is greatfull

the various posts from everyone are at least usefull for novice programmers like me...

one cant find himself in the middle of his journey if he doesnot start from somewhere..

and i suppose that all pikers like me start from the sameplace more or less..

 

what i have remarked previously is just my personal stand after i have wondered for a long time in indicator land

 

even now i cant really tell if my work is productive or i still look at smoke and mirrors..

but i am at the last stretch...if i fail afetr all this research i will quit autommated and

turn to semi autommated(alerts from marketscanner)..

 

the nastiest part is the limitations of the reserved words of easy language..partcicullary for strategies

 

you only learn as you go by that you will pay a heavy toll for the fast learning curve

 

 

regards

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
