Tradestation Code Help

[ephi144 10]

this is not working as i like for it too.

psudocode:

 

if Hulls moves above 13 ema then

if i am short then

cover

print string "cover" where i covered

go long one contract

print string "long" where i went long

 

if hulls moves below 13 ema then

if i am long then

sell

print "Closed"

 

sell short one contract

print "short" where i went short

 

---------- CODE -----------------------

 

inputs:

Price( Close ),

Hulls( 8 ),

EMA( 13 ),

Displace( 0 ),

upColour(Blue),

downColour(Red);

 

variables:

HullsAvg( 0 ),

EMAvg( 0 ),

MP( 1 );

 

 

HullsAvg = jtHMA( Price, Hulls ) ;

EMAvg = AverageFC( Price, EMA ) ;

MP = MarketPosition ;

 

if HullsAvg crosses over EMAvg then

begin

if MP = -1 then

begin

Buy To Cover("Cover") this bar;

end;

Buy ( "Long" )this bar;

end;

 

 

if HullsAvg crosses under EMAvg then

begin

if MP = 1 then

begin

Sell ("Close") this bar;

end;

sellshort( "Short" ) this bar;

end;

Try arranging your REVERSALS outside of your ENTRY

 

eg.

 

if HullsAvg crosses over EMAvg then

begin

Buy ( "Long" )this bar;

end;

 

if HullsAvg crosses under EMAvg then

begin

sellshort( "Short" ) this bar;

end;

 

if MP = -1 and HullsAvg crosses over EMAvg then Buy To Cover("Cover") this bar;

if MP = 1 and HullsAvg crosses under EMAvg then Sell ("Close") this bar

Did the solution above work for you?

[ephi144 10]

turns out that when you use Buy or Sell

TS first sells any open positions that you and then enters a buy order and vice versa. so you do not need to explicitly define those orders
