Hi,

I tried it, and the backtest took some trades. So I am guessing that with “it is not working”, you don’t talk about error message or a backtest not taking trade, but instead you mean the logic you want to implement with successive events triggered is not applied with this code?

I’ll assume your rangetop is meant to be defined only at first candle, and you run the backtest on same timeframe as this first candle you’re looking at, so I skip any suggestion updating rangetop as the day goes along.

First thing reading the code is: if you reinitialise rangetop and longtally at first candle of the day, it implies you start from fresh everyday, therefore the way you have defined events A,B, C becoming =1 within IF statements would imply you also need to reinitialise those to zero at beginning of day:

IF IntradayBarIndex = 0 THEN
   RangeTop = High
   RangeBottom = Low
   RangeMid = (High + Low) / 2
   LongTally = 0
   ShortTally = 0
   EventA = 0
   EventB = 0
   EventC = 0
ENDIF

Next, your “AFTER THAT” notes imply you want to detect the events one after the other, but not during the same candle. If that’s the case, I would code them from C to A rather than from A to C, to make sure when testing eventB that the variable eventA became 1 in an earlier candle and not in same candle just a few lines before (resp event C vs A and B):

// if Event A & B triggered and AFTER THAT Event C should Trigger when close is over RangeTop again

IF EventA = 1 AND EventB = 1 AND Close > RangeTop THEN
   EventC = 1
ENDIF

// if Event A triggered and AFTER THAT Event B should Trigger when the low breaks RangeTop

IF EventA = 1 AND Low < RangeTop THEN
   EventB = 1
ENDIF

// Event A

IF Close > RangeTop THEN
   EventA = 1
ENDIF

Hopefully it might help, but it might not be the final solution, as debugging can already take several consecutive steps for oneself, and a few more steps when someone else is trying to be on same wavelength as what you are trying to code?
