  Bin

  //Buy condition Bullcondition=low crosses over Average[20](close) //Candle style BC1 = Close[1] < Close[2] BC2 = Close > Close[1] BullCandleStyle=BC1 and BC2 //Long Entry IF after Bullcondition appear BullCandleStyle then BUY 1 CONTRACT AT market Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  //Buy condition Bullcondition=low crosses over Average[20](close)   //Candle style BC1 = Close[1] < Close[2] BC2 = Close > Close[1] BullCandleStyle=BC1 and BC2   //Long Entry IF after Bullcondition appear BullCandleStyle then BUY 1 CONTRACT AT market Endif

  Hi Grahal

  Thanks, your suggestion is buy when both condition appear at same time.

  But my idea is: When bullcondition, hold the buy until BullCandle Style appear.

  IF Bullcondition Then BarIndex = BullIndex Endif If BullCandleStyle and BarIndex > BullIndex Then BUY 1 CONTRACT AT Market Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  IF Bullcondition Then BarIndex = BullIndex Endif   If BullCandleStyle and BarIndex > BullIndex Then BUY 1 CONTRACT AT Market Endif

  Or something similar … I’ll sleep on it! 🙂

  How long you want to hold the condition? Couldn’t be forever as BullCondition may not be valid, so maybe you need below?

  You can optimise variable x

  IF Bullcondition Then BarIndex = BullIndex Endif If BullCandleStyle and ((BarIndex - BullIndex) < x) Then BUY 1 CONTRACT AT Market Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  IF Bullcondition Then BarIndex = BullIndex Endif If BullCandleStyle and ((BarIndex - BullIndex) < x) Then BUY 1 CONTRACT AT Market Endif

  As your Bull Condition is  …

  Bullcondition=low crosses over Average[20](close)

  1	Bullcondition=low crosses over Average[20](close)

  why not just use …

  Bullcondition = Low > Average[20](close)

  1	Bullcondition = Low > Average[20](close)

  Then you could have …

  If BullCondition and BullCancdle Them Buye 1 Share at Market Endif

  1 2 3

  If BullCondition and BullCancdle Them Buye 1 Share at Market Endif

  Thanks Grahal, actually the bull condition contain 3MA and need confirm by a candle pull back.

  I found this intersting strategy from internet and seem workable, you can take a look via below link.

  Yeah link looks good, easy to read and well laid out website … I’ll digest better with my tea tonight. 🙂 It looks a lot like the Alligator Strategy?

  I felt the simplistic explanation of the Alligator a bit naff when I first studied it, but I’m pleased to say it has stuck with me and I guess that is the reason (naff)! 🙂

  https://www.forextraders.com/forex-education/forex-indicators/alligator-indicator-explained/

  There is an Indicator on here …

  https://www.prorealcode.com/prorealtime-indicators/bill-williams-alligator/

  There is also the PRT Default … see attached.

  Hi Grahal

  I am working on big three strategy, however I stuck on the stop loss coding.

  eg: When long, stop loss should be (MA80-tradeprice), but Prorealtime only read previous tradeprice instead of current tradeprice.

  😫😫😫

  Didnt use TradePrice(1) did you?

  If you put your code on here (using <> icon) we may be able to spot the reason?

  I got it going, see attached. You check it out to see if it’s doing what you want?

  Here are the code differences …

  40 StopLossLong = Tradeprice - (TradePrice-SMA[1]) 53 StopLossShort= Tradeprice - (SMA[1]-Tradeprice)

  1 2 3

  40  StopLossLong = Tradeprice - (TradePrice-SMA[1])   53  StopLossShort= Tradeprice - (SMA[1]-Tradeprice)

  Hi Grahal

  I found below work.

  //Long Entry if BC and BCandle then BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET BuyPrice=Close StopLossLong = BuyPrice - SMA endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  //Long Entry if BC and BCandle then BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET BuyPrice=Close StopLossLong = BuyPrice - SMA endif
