hi guys..i want to backtest a simple system....i have only end of day data ....my conditions are as follows:i just want to buy 50 points above open ..each day... and exit at end of day ....for this i tried the following code[ intrabar order is enabled in the setttings]//===========================================if marketposition=0 then buy next bar at open +50 stop;setexitonclose;//===========================================the problem with this code is that suppose on a day buy condition is not met on a particular day..it doesnt cancel the order and buys next day using previous day open adding 50 to it...(instead of using current day open...)how to solve this?this is very very simple system..how to code this...

thanks but i just want to backtest a system.in offline mode..for that only i am asking..i am not asking about real time orders and real trades... I just want to backtest a simple system... which buys on the break of previous day high ... if H> H[1] then buy this bar at the high of previous bar;(but TS accepts only orders based on close of bar) but i want to buy not on close but instead as soons as market breaks the high of yesterday ...so is it possible in tradestation ? if i had intraday data i could use [intrabarordergeneration=true] but since i have eod data alone whats the solution ....

i have eod data alone...and i want to buy if high of this bar is greater than high of yesterday...i want to buy on market as soon as previous day high is broken....is it possible to give such order? Tradestation seems to accept orders on close of the current bar it seems...is there a solution.... if H>H[1] then buy at H[1] at current bar this is all i want ....i dont have intraday data....

Day trading is also a profession.If u are not able to find time for trading then better not to trade.As far is Market Proflile is concerned it requires full attention and concentration regarding , anticipating market structure in advance and act accordingly.so if u can spend time then only think of trading. Happy Trading;

You are correct Tams.I understand that u want others to think and work before asking any question,but when we are urgent and want immediate results we sometimes think "why not post in a forum any experienced person will answer". Sorry Tams if i have wasted ur time here after please ingore my questions in the forum.

Thanks for the idea.I myself live in a developing country 500$ is a big sum in our country.My whole trading capital is just 8 times the donation u people pay for developing countries:embarassed: i have not spent 500$ for my own education. Just keep guiding like this no need to code for me .

BTW whenever any newbie asks questions u are the first to help him out thanks for being so kind Tams.

Thanks tams.I tried this,but this dint work coz this will take the total net profit and stop trading once the total net profit has reached in the strategy but i want only that day's profit to be considered.if theres any function like "net profit today" will work.

Hi guys i tried sirtrade's Market profile for tradestation but its not working,does it require tick data to plot MP? I have 1 minute data only:(.Its showin error "The analysis technique attempted to reference data past the bounds of the array".Anybody help.

Thanks for the useful information guys.No trade-samarai orders are not GTC orders.As i tried similar to what swansjr told its working now.Thanks for taking efforts to help me out.

HI theres nothing special about my strategies,they are just tweaks of ORB systems from the ideas of Mark fischer ACD and Tobbycrabel's method.If u read them u will definitely develope better ones than mine.

yes Tams i only wrote that.Long term intraday strategies do not require any action during the trading day so i wanted to develop shortterm scalping strategies.
