  Thank you Grahal.

  Can I know at least what is the formula for first condition? Is not a simple AND. Right? I will take it from there (maybe I will not manage but I will try at least).

  Import the Demark TD Sequential and set up as a separate Indicator on your Platform … then do as I did using GRAPH.

  Here you are, I’ve done it for you … see attached.

  You know that code is read at end of a bar and position opened at open of next bar … hence the Long open at 1 bar after the UP Arrow from the TD Seq Indicator.

  See at the 3 red arrowheads on attached.

  Thank you, Grahal. It looked like I needed to restart the platform… it was kind of stuck! Now, is all working. I know this might not be the topic (but to open a new topic for this would be a bit too much bothering for the forum I guess). The question is in relation to a post of JS (above in this same topic) he said that an indicator can be converted in a backtesting code by simply removing the DRAW and replacing by BUY and SELL ORDERS. I have been trying to find in the forum manual for this but I could not find. Is there any? Thank you in advance. And thank you again

  JS was referring to this particular code (as you posted above) in which there is a DrawArrowUP and DrawArrowDown … both of which have a good probability of the start of a profitable Long and Short trade respectively.

  So to replace Draw**** by Buy or SellShort needs the Draw**** to be indicative of a change of direction or good probability for a Long or SellShort.

  I find it’s best to put // in front of the Draw instruction (i.e. not delete Draw****) then you can refer back to see what the original Draw instruction stated.

  Aha… I see. So,

  The way I was using before was – taking any code and adding respectively the bearish and bullish action to respectively the buy and sell back test order and it was working sometimes :D. So there is no manual or method to simplify that in the forum? I would be happy to read one in general basis the following simple skeleton:

  // Bedingungen zum Einstieg in Long-Positionen IF NOT LongOnMarket AND IhreBedingungen THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF // Bedingungen zum Ausstieg von Long-Positionen If LongOnMarket AND IhreBedingungen THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF // Bedingungen zum Einstieg in Short-Positionen IF NOT ShortOnMarket AND IhreBedingungen THEN SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF // Bedingungen zum Ausstieg aus Short-Positionen IF ShortOnMarket AND IhreBedingungen THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF // Stops und Targets: Legen Sie hier schützende Stops und Profit Targets fest

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

  // Bedingungen zum Einstieg in Long-Positionen IF NOT LongOnMarket AND IhreBedingungen THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF   // Bedingungen zum Ausstieg von Long-Positionen If LongOnMarket AND IhreBedingungen THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF   // Bedingungen zum Einstieg in Short-Positionen IF NOT ShortOnMarket AND IhreBedingungen THEN SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF   // Bedingungen zum Ausstieg aus Short-Positionen IF ShortOnMarket AND IhreBedingungen THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF   // Stops und Targets: Legen Sie hier schützende Stops und Profit Targets fest

  What is IhreBedingungen?  Is it ‘Conditions‘?? Aha it is, I put it in google Translator! 🙂

  Yes the skeleton you show is a good basis.

  No there is no manual /pdf describing how to convert an Indicator to a Strategy.  Each instance would be slighly different, hence a prescriptive ‘manual’ would be difficult.

  Am I understanding your questions correctly?
