Hey blu-ray, How are you? No one decided to help :crap: Any luck with what we'd been talkin about? Much thanks, Darknite

Ok have a good time talk soon, Darknite.

ok I think i've nearly sorted this out now (finally) I think I only need to add one last bit of code in. That would be only 1 trade maximum between every natural hour is allowed. So for more depth: If there is a setup and it sells short once it has made it's profittarget of 30 ticks it buys to cover. A new trade can not be initiated until the natural hour is up. For example if it sells short at the time of 13:08 and buys to cover at: 13:59 - it can make a new trade at 14:00 or 14:01 - it can only make a new trade ar 15:00 Thanks, Darknite.

Cheers, I appreciated you hard work I'll test it a little later today and preply back as soon as I've done it. Thanks ever so much, Darknite.

cheers, keep me posted please:) Thanks a lot, Darknite.

oki doki Cheers, i'll send it to you in about 15 mins... just need to type it alllllllllll out ignore the last message I forgot to refresh (F5) :P Thanks, Darknite.

so yea, could I put my stop loss on a 5 minute bar at 2 ticks above the entry bar? if thats possible im 100% sure the stoploss will be correct everytime! Cheers a million, Darknite.

lol Yeah, I'm taking a bigger hit that I should be. Grrr why do they make it so difficult to do Would it be possible if you could help me to do this please? and by a can of worms u mean possibly creating more problems for myself? Grrrrrr Thanks for eveything, Dark-nite

Cheers, But is this so I can set the amount in dollars above the high or the amount in dollars it gains from the entry? Would I have to put something like. setstoploss (high + 10) if I wanted 10 dollars above the high or what? Lol, thanks once again. Darknite.

Also Blu-Ray I'll be PM'ing you later on/tomorrow with more detail about my strategy etc. Cheers and much appreciation, Darknite.

Just noticed your edited part, yes you can. Remove the red line below: if mp = -1 then begin buytocover ("ProfitTarget") next bar at ShortEntry - (ProfTarget*mintick) limit; buytocover ("StoppedOut") next bar at mystop stop; end; and the add this to the bottom of the script: setprofittarget( x ); Note: the profit target is now in dollar amount rather than number of ticks. Cheers Blu-Ray Great but how do I do the same to the stoploss now please? Cheers, Darknite

Cheers I'll post more info in the morning (was out sorry) For some reason the strategy does not work. I've done exactly as you said, i'll show you some screen shots and what it's meant to be. It doesn't seem to trade 30 tick profit. It is usually between 2 to about 70 ticks but never 30... strange :S Cheers, Darknite.

And I'm not completely sure if you understood what I meant (probably because of my terrible english but anyway :P ) I mean that once the entry has taken place it sells 30 ticks below the entry the 1st chance it gets. If it is the same bar that has made the profit target of 30 ticks or 2 bars along it will buytocover the 1st chance it gets. (providing the stoploss hasen't bought back anyway) Once again much thanks, Darknite.

Thanks, Is it possible I could do it a different way. Instead of looking for the pattern on data2 I look for the pattern on data1 and trade on data2? Cheers, Datknite.

Wow! Thanks so much! I now only have one problem. For some reason when using the showme all the points it plots are correct but when using the strategy it only show about 80% of the trades that it should do. Is there something wrong? Is it possible that I can buy back 30 ticks below the entry on the same bar (if the low goes down that far) if not then the 1st bar that the low gets low enough to buy back at 30 ticks below the entry? One final thing (I think ) How do I change to script so it won't sell anything when there is 1 hour till closing and then start again the next morning? (To prevent holding trades when the market has closed) Blu-Ray - I have to hand it to you and everyone else that has been helping me. I appreciated it so much. You don't understand the stress it was causing me that no one could help me. Then I found this forum Cheers, Darknite.
