Hi all,

I am looking for some help with coding this for PRT charts as I need to backtest something. It is a fairly simple analysis, just want to see the % of time the price reacts to pivot levels in Forex and by how much.

Chart set-up:

Forex pairs major and minor
Daily, Weekly and Monthly Pivots (Main pivot, S1,S2,S3, R1,R2,R3) Just these levels for all three.

I want to check the following on selected pairs:

Within a given period, how many times did the price bounce off the daily, weekly or monthly pivot (within 2-3 pips of the pivot considering the spread)
Stop loss would be between 7-20 pips (I need to able to test different variables here)
Take profit R:R 1:2, 1:3 etc

I do not know coding, I am assuming more specifics may be required. Just wanted to give a brief info, not sure if this kind of backtesting is even possible on PRT.

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

Happy New Year to all!

Mike

Happy New Year Mike, do you need a screener or a strategy?

Thank you. I want to backtest this, so I am guessing that would be a strategy. Since pivots have an exact calculation, I wanted to test several pairs to find out which one reacts to them the most etc. Does that make sense? And since I have no idea how to code, this is like rocket science to me.

I am sure it would be possible to do this?

Hi kadziak, I already started coding it, but I need some more time to finish it 🙂

I just finished the MONTHLY test. It took quite a long time to code it in my spare time!

Adding the DAILY and WEEKLY tests will not be as time consuming as the MONTHLY-only version, as it will be a simple copy & paste with some minor editing, but I first want to know your feedback before going ahead, just to avoid wasting time in case the code does not meet your criteria.

I am posting this very first code, which is almost 300 lines, but next times, after finishing it, I will only attach the ITF file, as it will grow well over 500 hundreds lines, making the code and the post very tough to read:

the attached pic shows how data will be plotted in the variable panel of the backtest.

Lines 2-16 are self-explanatory.

Line 273 (the BUY line) serves no purpose other than abiding by the requirement of ProBackTest.

As to GRAPH, I fear the dubugging lines exceed the limit of ProBackTest, so I suggest to first monitor the LONG performance only by commenting out the SHORT lines, then reverting the comments to test the SHORT performance.

Hi Roberto,

Thank you so much for this, I really appreciate it. I see the date you sent this message was in Feb, for whatever reason I did not receive a message from the portal notifying me of your response. So, apologies for my late reply. I just got a message yesterday with the ITF file.

Once again, thank you very much for the work you put into this. I hope this will work.

Best regards

Mike
