ProRealTime - Probacktest Error

[Revolutionary 10]

Hi everyone,

 

I got a question about Probacktest. It seems like signals are given 1 bar too late each time.

 

This is my code:

IF (DOpen(1) < DClose(1)) Then

BUY 1 SHARES AT MARKET

ENDIF

 

IF (DOpen(0) >= DClose(0)) OR (DOpen(0) <= DClose(0)) THEN

SELL AT MARKET THISBARONCLOSE

ENDIF

 

IF (DOpen(1) > DClose(1)) Then

SELLSHORT 1 SHARES AT MARKET

ENDIF

 

IF (DOpen(0) >= DClose(0)) or (DOpen(0) <= DClose(0)) Then

EXITSHORT AT MARKET THISBARONCLOSE

ENDIF

 

This system should go LONG when the previous day candle was green and should go SHORT when the previous day candle was red. The trade should be exited at the end of the day.

 

When I test this simple code the signals are executed 1 bar too late...

 

I hope someone can show me the error in this code.

Okay, now it's a hell of a long time since I used ProRealTime for any kind of coding, but its the first platform language in which I learnt to code), so this is little more than a guess . . . Try something like:

 

This is my code:

IF (DOpen(0) < DClose(0)) Then

BUY 1 SHARES AT MARKET

ENDIF

 

IF LONGONMARKET THEN

SELL AT MARKET NEXTBARONCLOSE

ENDIF

 

Little more than a guess, but it will be a fault in the code rather than a glitch in the software, so keep playing around (and read the manual, which is actually quite helpful).

 

Cheers.
