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: 12th November 2024. Market Buzz: Trump Trade Impact! “Trump trade” has boosted the US Dollar and US stocks, but Trump’s policies may have less favorable effects on global assets. Trump’s plan to raise tariffs is expected to negatively impact economies worldwide, especially exporters like China. Asia & European Sessions:   Bitcoin Surge! Bitcoin broke $90K, driven by Trump trade once again. Bitcoin is up roughly 110% in 2024, helped by robust demand for dedicated US ETFs, interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and Trump’s cryptofriendly agenda. Crypto market capitalization has exceeded its pandemic-era peak, reaching $3.1 trillion. Traders are betting on Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by year-end, according to data from the Deribit exchange. Open interest — or outstanding contracts — for CME Group Inc. futures for Bitcoin and second-ranked Ether (ETHUSD) scaled records on Monday, a sign of growing engagement by US institutional investors. Asian shares dropped, alongside European and US equity futures, as traders evaluated the implications of President-elect Donald Trump’s policy agenda and potential cabinet choices. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell for a third consecutive day, driven by rising Treasury yields amid concerns that Trump’s proposed tax cuts could increase inflation. There are also reports that Trump is considering two individuals for prominent roles in his administration with track records of criticizing China. DAX and FTSE100 are down -1.1% and -0.5% respectively, after a pickup in German HICP inflation and higher than expected UK wage growth dampened easing expectations. Investors await the US CPI report for insights into the Fed’s easing path, as Trump’s inflationary policies may lead to fewer rate cuts. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex continues to rise and is currently at 105.75. It hit a 1-year high. EURUSD drifts to 1.0620 and GBPUSD is in a sell off, currently at 1.2800. Oil prices fell after their biggest 2-week decline, amid a weak demand outlook from China, a stronger US Dollar, and concerns over a potential oversupply. Crude oil has traded within a narrow range since mid-last month, influenced by Middle East tensions, the US election, and OPEC+ output decisions. Gold remains under pressure and is currently at just $2604.36 per ounce. It hit a one-month low, down 5% since Trump’s election victory, as a strong dollar and US equity rotation pressured the metal. Gold’s decline was also technical, breaking below the 50-day moving average, causing funds to cover long positions. Despite recent drops, gold remains up 25% for the year, supported by central bank purchases and geopolitical risks. Always trade with strict risk management.
