Hi,

 

i have a problem, in easy language(Multichart) i write "buy this bar at market", but multicharts buys only on open on next bar, it's too late for me. Maybe someone can recomend me some soft which can resolve this problem? Because as i know multichart doesn't support such types of orders. Am i wrong?

 

Thank for help!

BlowFish, do you use multicharts?

Coud you check this simple strategie, i'm intresting what results you will get.

 

[intrabarOrderGeneration=true]

IF Low < Low[1] then

sellshort this bar at market;

if high > High[1]then

buytocover this bar at market;

 

Please also see attached file, which results i recieve and what i really want from this strategy, maybe it will be more clear.

I do have MC but don't really use strategies. I would help but there are probably far better qualified people that are less likely to give you duff information.

 

You do have tick data available for the instrument you are using?

 

Final thought you might get better help on TSSuport support or forum.

I don't think you can ever use "this bar at market", has to be "next bar at market." But with IntrabarOrderGeneration "next bar at market" becomes "next tick at market" is my understanding. Haven't tried this in many moons but used to work like this. Didn't you get this info in that other thread? You tried it and it didn't work?

"next bar" is crucial for my strategie. I need to fill order immediatly at market price when signal fires up, not on next bar.

I started new thread beacause i thought it can be soft problems and maybe there are better programs which can fill orders immiediatly.

Read ochies reply again. You expect to do better than the very next tick? You can no till at prices that have already past.

thanks for your help. I use 233 tick bars, therefore 234 tick is too late, because new high can be after 135 ticks or 111 ticks or ... never know. As i see from your replies the best solutionis to use 1 tick bar charts, then sell on next tick make sense.

 

Any better ideas will be welcome!

maybe i don't how to use it properly, but i didn't get result about which you wrote

i just tried, wrote IntrabarOrderGeneration=true in script and strategies solf only on next bar open not on next tick as you wrote, unfortunatly.

 

P.S. I tried it in 233 tick chart

How about 232 tick bars :)

These are elementary EL questions which you can ask on the MC tssupport forum.

 

The fact is you are having a short circuit logic problem in your thinking. By definition, you can't know the H or the L of a bar until the bar is closed. You can however, create a derivative of price that can meet a certain criteria (often this is called an indicator), so that the condition is met intrabar. IOG (Intrabar order generation) logic was created for such purposes.

You are overcomplicating this. All you want to do is to sell on the next bar when it goes lower than the trigger bar's low.

 

So just use this on the bar that is your "trigger" bar: sellshort next bar at low stop;

      So I've been messing with the indicators and learning about them. Made me curious what does the majority use here and why?
      Currently I'm using Bollinger Bands, Awesome Oscillator, Moving Average, Belkhayate Timing and Parabolic SAR.
      From all these Belkhayate is my favourite so far, it almost only made me win trades. While Parabolic is almost like MA, I still can read it more clearly on how the market moves.

    • 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!
