  What you have posted is not a complete strategy. Where are the buy and sell orders?

  Hi @vonasi,

  This is the complete code. I’ve managed to get it working by removing SlowLength and FastLength as the error stated the code did not use either variable. Also I’m not sure if i have the UKDSL correct as i’ve removed the US version. Would really appreciate it if someone could just check over that section just to make sure its correct:

  Full UK version

  Hi @Yahootew3000

  Could you please explain in simple terms what this section of the code is doing and should the same values be used with the UKDLS code?

  timeok = NOT(time >051500- USDLS AND time <053000 - USDLS) AND NOT(time >060000 - USDLS AND time <070000 - USDLS)

  1	timeok = NOT(time >051500- USDLS AND time <053000 - USDLS) AND NOT(time >060000 - USDLS AND time <070000 - USDLS)

  Best Wishes,

  Hi Guys,

  On reflection of my last post i’m assuming this piece of software holds off from any trades during 2 periods :

  05:15 – 05:30

  06:00 – 07:00

  As this is considered too much volitility? Would that be correct?

  Best wishes,

  Plaedies

  Hi Plaedis,

  This section is to avoid high spread period where you add the DLS (-USDLS) when it has to apply.

  Code line 308 : volindic <3.5 is for high volatility

  Thanks @Yomihou,

  As I live in the UK I have deleted the USDLS code and instead used the below.. Would that be correct for the Wall Street DJI?

  // --------- UK DAY LIGHT SAVINGS MONTHS ---------------- // mar = month = 3 // MONTH START oct = month = 10 // MONTH END IF ( dayofweek >= 0 and mar AND 31-day<7 ) OR ( month > 3 AND month < 10 ) OR ( oct AND 31-day > 6 ) OR (dayofweek = 4 AND oct AND day<31) OR (dayofweek = 3 AND oct AND day+1<31) OR (dayofweek = 2 AND oct AND day+2<31) OR (dayofweek = 1 AND oct AND day+3<31) OR (dayofweek = 0 AND oct AND day+4<31) OR (dayofweek = 5 AND oct AND 31-day<7) THEN UKDLS=1 ELSE UKDLS=0 ENDIF timeok = NOT(time >051500- UKDLS AND time <053000 - UKDLS) AND NOT(time >060000 - UKDLS AND time <070000 - UKDLS)

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

  // ---------   UK DAY LIGHT SAVINGS MONTHS      ---------------- // mar = month = 3 // MONTH START oct = month = 10 // MONTH END IF ( dayofweek >= 0 and mar AND 31-day<7 ) OR ( month > 3 AND month < 10 ) OR ( oct AND 31-day > 6 )  OR  (dayofweek = 4 AND oct AND day<31) OR (dayofweek = 3 AND oct AND day+1<31) OR  (dayofweek = 2 AND oct AND day+2<31) OR (dayofweek = 1 AND oct AND day+3<31) OR (dayofweek = 0 AND oct AND day+4<31)  OR (dayofweek = 5 AND oct AND 31-day<7) THEN UKDLS=1 ELSE UKDLS=0 ENDIF timeok = NOT(time >051500- UKDLS AND time <053000 - UKDLS) AND NOT(time >060000 - UKDLS AND time <070000 - UKDLS)

  Hello All,

  Sorry that I wasn’t available for couple of days. Thank you @Vonasi for helping to answer those question.

  Due to much confusion with the time zone, let me create another version change to new york time zone, it will probably remove the need of conversion of daylight saving.

  In fact, I realize I should not need to do that. You can actually change the Time Zone from Options -> Platform options -> Time zones & Trading hours -> Display all data in this time zone: <select the UTC+0800>

  You can also prepare it into the ProOrder for demo or live account. Once prepared, it will record the preset UTC+0800. Then you may change back to your original time zone if you wish for other strategies.

  Great, so should I revert back to the original USDLS code and use the platform to add the UTC+8 ?

  Kind regards,

  Lines 23-62 are in blue in the code editor – like something is wrong?

  @abro163 , the colored “zones” simply shows the Timeframe. Line 23-60 in this case means that the code within those lines are for the 5 minute Timeframe.

  Thanks keewee 🙂   Anyhow  I figured it out, you have to remove all the variables from the code editor optimization window.

  I’m confused about this part of the code:

  define trena

  if (line1[0]>line2[0] or trend[0] = 1) then trena = 1 endif if (line1[0]<line2[0] or trend[0] = -1) then trena = -1 endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  if (line1[0]>line2[0] or trend[0] = 1) then trena = 1 endif if (line1[0]<line2[0] or trend[0] = -1) then trena = -1 endif

  Its logic seem to favor trena=-1 (since it’s only 1 if trend = 1 and line1>=line2). How does this make sense?

  Also, I’m confused by the numbers switching from 1 for bullish to -1 for bullish to 2 for bearish, etc. It would make more sense to just use 1 for bullish and -1 for bearish imho.

  Does anyone else have any comments about the code? Maybe we can improve it together 😉
