maybe I was no clear enough because of my bad english ...sorry

 

so how can I code this:

after profit target occurs, system can take only opposite direction orders or better than last exit in same direction

 

so if I was long and I get profit target at 100, next order I will take is only short or long but below 100 ...lets say 99

 

thanks

Just create a variable, initialize it for instance with -1 and set it to 100 after long exit!

 

var: LastExitPrice(-1);

 

entry rule...

if yada.... and LastExitPrice = -1 or Close < LastExitPrice then

if conditions is met for long then....

entry...

if conditions is met for short then...

entry...

 

exit rule:

... yada... if... then exit position...

begin

Sell("....") next bar at market;

LastExitPrice = Close;

End;

 

Remember to reset LastExitPrice at the end of the day/ week or whatever

thanks this really helps me alot

 

and how would you code if I want take only opposite orders after profit target

[januson 10]

If only!! then I would create another variable:

 

vars: LastOrderType("unknown");

 

And then write long entry og short entry into that each time a trade is initiated.

 

Remember again to reset variable if the price is lower than, for instance 3%

 

if Close < LastExitPrice -3% and LastOrderType = "Long" then

LastOrderType = "unknown";

 

Otherwise you will presumeable only get one long entry

Hi, sorry to post in this thread. i am new to program trading but like to start with the follow setup using tradestation easy language,

 

when rsi hit 90, sell one ES contract.profit 4 ticks and stop loss 4 ticks.

when rsi hit 20, buy one ES contract.profit 4 ticks and stop loss 4 ticks.

 

anyone can advice or give some pointers? appreciate,thanks.cwk

you should start by looking at some of the canned codes that came with the program.

there are a few examples that follow your chain of thought.

if rsi(close,14) crossesover 90 then shortsell this bar on close

else

if rsi(close,14) crossesunder 20 then buy this bar on close;

 

i don't need to see a backtest of this, do NOT trade this
