EasyLanguage left the interpreter in version 4. (~1997?) Today's TradeStation uses p-code. MultiCharts' indicators are compiled.
-
it is easy: Var: Predicted.Close(0); Predicted.Close = Random( Range ) + Low; if you found the above helpful, please make a donation to: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/charity/ Thank you.

yes, you can predict it... sure you can use your algorithm or logic or witchcraft to "predict" your closing price, and YES you can enter an order based on your "predicted" price. you can call that "predicted" price whatever you want, you can call it a goat, you can call it a sheep, you can call it a puppy, but it is NOT the closing price until the bar is CLOSED. caphresh? .

if I know the bar close price before the bar is closed... I will be a gazillllionaire by tomorrow sunset.

Data Exchange Using GV Regular 120T & 120T 3 Line Break
Tams replied to Ranger's topic in Coding Forum
I would use the logic to create an indicator... e.g. make a dot every time these variables triggers: if Condition1 then plot1(1 , "Condition1") else plot1(0 , "Condition1"); if Condition2 then plot2(-1 , "Condition2") else plot2(0 , "Condition2"); plot3( _GoLongTrigger, "golong"); plot4( -_GoSHortTrigger, "goshort"); you can then visually check to see if your logic is firing at the correct moment. -

no need to wait, you can set up an audio signal... or get your charting program to send you an email, or SMS... or even enter the order for you. . Tweezers_at_2SD.wav -
Data Exchange Using GV Regular 120T & 120T 3 Line Break

in your 1st post, the price is declared under var: the value of price will be assigned at initiation and will remain at that vlue. if you move the price to input (as in the second code), the value of price will be re-evaluated at every tick. alternatively you can add this line before the avg calculation: price = close; hope this helps.

but do they do MP ???

p.s. this thread is about the backtest software. if you need help in a specific case, or methodology, you should start a new thread.
-
you are telling us what happened to the result, but you have not said anything about the backtest you've done. from a distance... without knowing the detail, I can tell you there is a missing link between your back test and forward test.
-
show us what you have done... maybe we can show you where you went wrong.
-
can you post your chart? also please write notes on the chart to show your area of confusion.
-
thanks, a screen shot is appreciated.

I just looked at your chart again... sorry, this indicator is for minute charts only.

have you tested this out as an indicator first? how could you know it was not GIGO ?

This thread is about backtest, not the strategy. I won't discount any effort, even a MA cross. What you said can can be applied to backtest as well... Naive assumptions (e.g. a simple MA cross) will net you predictable naive results, erroneous methodology (eg. a poorly applied backtest) will net you predictable errors. p.s. there is a method to everything.
