Pivot Point Intraday trading strategy

  Hello,

  I want to create a backtesting code for intraday Pivot Points. I used the indicator which Nicolas posted here:

  https://www.prorealcode.com/prorealtime-indicators/pivot-points-intraday/

  The code works, except for the stop loss and target profit. I want to buy or sell a contract at R1 / S1 and want to set the target at R2/S2. Stop Loss should be the Pivot Point.

  I use the code for Forex.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

  Try it this way:

  if not longonmarket and countB=0 and close<R1 then buy 1 share at R1 stop endif if not shortonmarket and countS=0 and close>S1 then sellshort 1 share at S1 stop endif if longonmarket then sell at pp stop sell at R22 limit elsif shortonmarket then exitshort at pp stop exitshort at S2 limit endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  if not longonmarket and countB=0 and close<R1 then   buy 1 share at R1 stop endif if not shortonmarket and countS=0 and close>S1 then   sellshort 1 share at S1 stop endif   if longonmarket then   sell at pp stop   sell at R22 limit elsif shortonmarket then   exitshort at pp stop   exitshort at S2 limit endif

  Thanks a lot, that already works better!

  But still, the “sell at R22 limit” and “exitshort at S2 limit” is not working correctly.

  Maybe it is calculating the R22 and S2 from the moment the system buys or sells a share? Is there anything I can do that it calculates R22 and S2 at the given time above?

  Check your variables with “graph” if they are calculated correctly.

  Hi RoLaDay you write that you use your strategy on Forex, but works very well on DAX 1min, I have still built a MM the results are incredible.

  But I used the first code without the conversion of desperation lg

  I have tried the same backtest on the real account because I get no trades, and when I try to run the program I get the error stop / limit distance too far away, very funny. lg
