Help with TS Easy Language

Recommended Posts

Dear Easy Language People:

 

I am trying to put together a simple strategy program to:

 

Place either a long or short market order at a specific time of the day.

 

This order should be able to do the following.

 

Enter at a specific time.

Enter number of contracts.

Choose between long of short entry.

Once the order is set it should be reoccurring without having to set the date.

 

This will allow me to back test without having to reset the date for each day.

 

 

 

Example: The strategy could-

 

Place a market order at 0930 hrs. (everyday)

 

Long (or short)

 

Number of contracts (10)

 

 

 

I have tried to come up with the easy language program for this and have the following, but it will not verify.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

inputs:

 

LongOrShort( 1 ), { pass 1 to buy long, 2 to sell short }

 

Quantity( 10 ),

 

EntryBarTime_HHMM( 1300 ) ; { for intraday chart, pass in time of bar at which entry should occur, 24 hr format; entry will occur at the OPEN of the specified

bar; for daily chart, time is ignored, can pass in 0 }

 

variables:

if Time next bar = EntryBarTime

 

and ( BarType = 2 or ( BarType = 1 and Time next bar = EntryBarTime_HHMM ) )

 

then

 

if LongOrShort = 1 then

 

Buy Quantity shares next bar at market

 

else

 

Sell Short Quantity shares next bar at market ;

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Can you help me fix it???

 

Thanks

I would suggest you to go through the examples in the manual first.

 

your error is a simple one,

if I tell you the answer, you will come back for another question of similar problem.

 

It would be a lot easier if you spend a few hours with the manual,

and learn the basic syntax before you begin.

 

After you have learned the basics, I can then help you with the more advanced stuff.

 

 

 

ps.

 

1. maybe someone can give it a try.

 

2. it would help if you copy and paste the error message before you ask for assistence.

Remove "Variable:"

 

And fix the name of the input "EntryBarTime"

 

 

inputs:

LongOrShort( 1 ), { pass 1 to buy long, 2 to sell short }

Quantity( 10 ),

EntryBarTime_HHMM( 1300 ) ; { for intraday chart, pass in time of bar at which entry should occur, 24 hr format; entry will occur at the OPEN of the specified
bar; for daily chart, time is ignored, can pass in 0 }


if Time next bar = EntryBarTime_HHMM

and ( BarType = 2 or ( BarType = 1 and Time next bar = EntryBarTime_HHMM ) )

then

if LongOrShort = 1 then

Buy Quantity shares next bar at market

else

Sell Short Quantity shares next bar at market ;

    • Date: 27th November 2024. S&P500 at its 52nd new peak for 2024; USD Firmer, Kiwi & Yen Up. Asia & European Sessions: Wall Street rallied into the close with the S&P500 and Dow registering more record highs with the S&P500 climbing 0.57% to 6045, its 52nd new peak for 2024. The Dow rose 0.28% to 44,860.3 for its 46th record of the year. The NASDAQ advanced 0.63%. Trump named Jamieson Greer as the US Trade Representative and Kevin Hassett to direct the National Economic Council. Greer was intimately involved in Trump’s first-term trade policy decisions. President Biden announced Israel and Hezbollah have reached a cease fire. Over the next 60 days the Lebanese army and state security will take control of their own territory and Israel will gradually withdraw its forces. FOMC minutes: Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting revealed officials leaning toward a cautious approach to future rate cuts. All agreed to cut the rate by -25 bps and nearly all thought risks between achieving employment and inflation goals were “roughly in balance.” Upside risks to the inflation outlook were little changed, and while inflation had eased, it remained elevated. The implied December rate continues to hover around a 50-50 bet as we await the PCE price data Wednesday and the crucial jobs report on December 6. The January 2025 rate is priced for a total of 20 bps in cuts, with -75 bps by January 2026. RBNZ cut its cash rate by 50 bps, yet the Kiwi gained as traders analyzed the central bank’s rate outlook and the governor’s remarks. Chinese government approved a 500 billion yuan ($69 billion) bond quota, enabling two state-owned asset managers to issue bonds for funding projects aimed at spurring economic growth. Today: US inflation and economic growth may provide clues to the Federal Reserve’s next policy move. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has dropped to currently 106.459. The Yen climbed with USDJPY pulling back to 151.82, while NZDUSD jumped to 0.5900 despite the RBNZ’s 50 bps rate cut. Oil prices stabilized at $68.84, with optimism over delayed OPEC+ output increases balancing the reduced geopolitical risk stemming from the ceasefire. Gold rebounds to 2653.54, with next Resistance at 2660-2664. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
