Never two or more time trading in same direction

  Hello,

  i try to create a code for the following Trading Idea:

  Enter Long:

  RSI undercross 30 and the last trade have to be a short Trade

  Enter Short

  RSI overcross 70 and the last trade have to be a long Trade

  Exit only with StopLoss or Positionchange (maybe from long to short or short to long)

  My Intention is, that in Case of a Strong Trend the RSI will generate may times short signals (maybe on a UpTrend). RSI will swing at the 70 Line and create many failure Signals. If the Short signal is given, then the next trading should be a Long Trade, means that i trade only one time the Short Signal. And if the RSI Swing at 70 and create manytimes short Signals, these does not matter to me. I will wait, until a long Signal is coming.

  I hope you understand.

  I use this on Dax 1 Minute Timeframe. In Strong Trends it generates 6-10 times failuresignal behind each other. I want to decrese that.

  So, that is my code, which i create, but i can`t  build the condition with the direction of the last trade.

  // Code-Parameter DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False DEFPARAM Flatbefore = 090500 DEFPARAM Flatafter = 215500 // Enter Long Position indicator1 = RSI[14] c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES UNDER 30) c7 = ShortOnMarket[1] = 1 IF c1 AND c7 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF // Exit Long Position indicator2 = RSI[14] c2 = (indicator2 >= 65) c3 = (close <= open[1]) IF c3 AND c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF // Enter Short Position indicator3 = RSI[14] c4 = (indicator3 CROSSES OVER 70) c8 = LongOnMarket[1] = 1 IF c4 AND c8 THEN SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF // Exit Short Position c5 = (close >= open[1]) indicator4 = RSI[14] c6 = (indicator4 <= 35) IF c5 AND c6 THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF // MoneyManagement SET STOP pLOSS 14

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45

  // Code-Parameter DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False DEFPARAM Flatbefore = 090500 DEFPARAM Flatafter = 215500   // Enter Long Position indicator1 = RSI[14] c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES UNDER 30) c7 = ShortOnMarket[1] = 1   IF c1 AND c7 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF   // Exit Long Position indicator2 = RSI[14] c2 = (indicator2 >= 65)   c3 = (close <= open[1])   IF c3 AND c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF   // Enter Short Position indicator3 = RSI[14] c4 = (indicator3 CROSSES OVER 70) c8 = LongOnMarket[1] = 1   IF c4 AND c8 THEN SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF   // Exit Short Position c5 = (close >= open[1])   indicator4 = RSI[14] c6 = (indicator4 <= 35)   IF c5 AND c6 THEN EXITSHORT  AT MARKET ENDIF   // MoneyManagement SET STOP pLOSS 14

  I dont know,  how i can check, in which the  last trade was going on. Was it a Longtrade or Shorttrade ?

  I hope you can help me.

  Thanks

  In Line 9 and 28 i try to create the condition about the last trade, but i think this is wrong.

  Yes lines 9 and 28 are wrong, nice try 🙂

  So if I understand you correctly, you want to launch a buy trade only if the last one was a sell? and so on for a sell if the last one was a buy?

  Yes. Because in Case of a LongTrend maybe, this system generates many FailureSignals, all short Signals (at LongTrend), and i dont want to trade this until the Dax is normal (no Trend) and the RSI goes down to create a Long Signal.

  Now i Modify this, but in this case i dont get a trade. If i set manual the Variable on Line 7 to 1 then it runs, but this means, that i will start everyday with a short signal. It should be so, that the first Trade each day without this condition (Previous Long or Previous Short)

  Please Check this:

  // Code-Parameter DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False DEFPARAM Flatbefore = 090500 DEFPARAM Flatafter = 215500 If Time = 090000 then PositionRichtung = 0 EndIF // Enter Long Position indicator1 = RSI[14] c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES UNDER 30) c7 = (PositionRichtung < 0) If ShortOnMarket = 1 THEN PositionRichtung = -1 EndIF IF c1 AND c7 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF // Exit Long Position indicator2 = RSI[14] c2 = (indicator2 >= 65) c3 = (close <= open[1]) IF c3 AND c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF // Enter Short Position indicator3 = RSI[14] c4 = (indicator3 CROSSES OVER 70) c8 = (PositionRichtung > 0) If LongOnMarket = 1 THEN PositionRichtung = 1 EndIF IF c4 AND c8 THEN SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF // Exit Short Position c5 = (close >= open[1]) indicator4 = RSI[14] c6 = (indicator4 <= 35) IF c5 AND c6 THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF // MoneyManagement SET STOP pLOSS 14

  I try for long time, but i thinks this is near to my Final 🙂

  Ok, so it needs to flag a variable when a buy trading occur and another one when a sell trading occur. Then just test this variable to open a new position.

  This variable needs to be reset each new day at very first intraday bar.

  Here is your modified code: (haven’t test it)

  // Code-Parameter DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False DEFPARAM Flatbefore = 090500 DEFPARAM Flatafter = 215500 If intradaybarindex=0 then PositionRichtung = 0 EndIF // Enter Long Position indicator1 = RSI[14] c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES UNDER 30) c7 = (PositionRichtung < 0) IF c1 AND c7 and PositionRichtung <>1 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET PositionRichtung = 1 ENDIF // Exit Long Position indicator2 = RSI[14] c2 = (indicator2 >= 65) c3 = (close <= open[1]) IF c3 AND c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF // Enter Short Position indicator3 = RSI[14] c4 = (indicator3 CROSSES OVER 70) c8 = (PositionRichtung > 0) IF c4 AND c8 and PositionRichtung <>-1 THEN SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET PositionRichtung = -1 ENDIF // Exit Short Position c5 = (close >= open[1]) indicator4 = RSI[14] c6 = (indicator4 <= 35) IF c5 AND c6 THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF // MoneyManagement SET STOP pLOSS 14

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52

  // Code-Parameter DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False DEFPARAM Flatbefore = 090500 DEFPARAM Flatafter = 215500   If intradaybarindex=0 then PositionRichtung = 0 EndIF     // Enter Long Position indicator1 = RSI[14] c1 = (indicator1 CROSSES UNDER 30) c7 = (PositionRichtung < 0)   IF c1 AND c7 and PositionRichtung <>1 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET PositionRichtung = 1 ENDIF   // Exit Long Position indicator2 = RSI[14] c2 = (indicator2 >= 65)   c3 = (close <= open[1])   IF c3 AND c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF   // Enter Short Position indicator3 = RSI[14] c4 = (indicator3 CROSSES OVER 70) c8 = (PositionRichtung > 0)   IF c4 AND c8 and PositionRichtung <>-1 THEN SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET PositionRichtung = -1 ENDIF   // Exit Short Position c5 = (close >= open[1])   indicator4 = RSI[14] c6 = (indicator4 <= 35)   IF c5 AND c6 THEN EXITSHORT  AT MARKET ENDIF   // MoneyManagement SET STOP pLOSS 14

  Thanks, it looks good.

  But the lines 14 and 34 have to be remove, because they are not needed anymore. Also the conditions “and c7” and “and c8” in Line 16 and 36. Then it runs.

  I try to reduce the failure Trades but the Problem is, that i lost the important trades too. These, where i can win 40-60 Points at the end of the Trend. With this System, i would ignore the last signals in the trend, these, where the Index will turn around.

  I hope you understand.

  Thanks for your support.

  Oh yes you are right about the c7 and c8 conditions, I forgot to remove them.

  About the false signals, you are trying to catch trend with a bounded oscillator on the last 14 period. Maybe you should look at price behaviour as a complement to the RSI.

  Hello Nicolas,

  thanks for your support.

  I still run this “system” live on my account, but i see, that every morning the first trade are missing.

  I mean, that there should be a trade at maybe 09:13 but this first signal will not trade. It starts with the secound one.

  Where can be the problem?

  It is possible, that Intradaybarindex does not run because we have a condition like

  <span class="token keyword">DEFPARAM</span> Flatbefore <span class="token operator">=</span> <span class="token number">090500</span>

  1	<span class="token keyword">DEFPARAM</span> Flatbefore <span class="token operator">=</span> <span class="token number">090500</span>

  At which time the intradaybarindex is = 0 ?

  The last version of this Code, i attach to this post.

  Thanks.
