Automate a Profitable Trading Method

Recommended Posts

My current trading method is very profitable. I would like to automate it if it is possible. I am not sure if it is because it requires me to read 2 different period charts.My trend chart alerts me to a possible trade up coming. The second my entry chart I then go to to see If one of 5 possible trade entries is setting up. The entry is triggered if I get the right price action from the entry point. For example for a long I have to get price moving to a new bar High compared to the last 2 bars.

 

I use a limit order and OSO to set my profit and stop currently.

 

Thanks for any input.

In TradeStation you can have two different timeframes on the same chart. Thus, the automated strategy can take information from both timeframes to determine when to trade. This is possible. However, the time frames can not be mixed, if I remember correctly. That is, you can't mix tick and minute charts.

if you can articulate a logic,

you can code it into a program.

 

what you have written above is a concept.

to program it, you will need to work out all the permutations

and decision trees.

 

try a flow chart as a starting point...

you can mix bar types in MultiCharts.

using a simple litle function in tradestation you are able to convert ticks to any timeframe you wish, eliminating the fact that you must use 2 or more charts with different tf's in order to gather data from multiple tf's. all can be done within the tickchart

    • 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. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
