Call MTF indicator

• 05/04/2022 at 1:10 PM #192650 Report

  Example of strategy below

  timeframe (4 hour)

  indicator1 = ADX[15]
  indicator2 = ADXR[20]
  entrycond1 = (indicator1[1] > indicator2[1])

  timeframe ( default)

  indicator3 = ADX[10]
  indicator4 = ADXR[14]
  entrycond2 = (indicator3[1] > indicator4[2])

  If entrycond1 and entrycond2 then

  buy 1 contract at market

  If I would split it into indicator and strategy without the MTF I know that it would just be done like below:
  indicator:

  indicator1 = ADX[15]
  indicator2 = ADXR[20]
  entrycond1 = (indicator1[1] > indicator2[1])

  indicator3 = ADX[10]
  indicator4 = ADXR[14]
  entrycond2 = (indicator1[3] > indicator2[4])

  return entrycond1, entrycond2

  strategy:

  entrycond1, entrycond2 = CALL “indicator”

  if entrycond1 and entrycond2 then

  buy 1 contract at market.

  Above is just wihtout MTF but why is it not with MTF same with indicator and on strategy file
  Timeframe (4 hour)

  entrycond1 = call “indicator”

  timeframe (default)

  entrycond2 = call “indicator”

  if entrycond1 and entrycond2 then

  buy 1 contract at market.

  Why is it not working like above, and what am I doing wrong?

  Can you post a screenshot with the mouse sitting on a bar whose dataare visible?

  Do you always use a 4h TF for both the split indicator+strategy?

  I think I got missunderstood.

  The strategy above is just random, I dont even know if it does work. I just want to know how to CALL for a indicator when using MTF.

  indicator

  indicator1 = random1 indicator2 = random2 entrycond1 = (random1 > random2]) indicator3 = random3 indicator4 = random4 entrycond2 = (random3 > random4) return entrycond1, entrycond2

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  indicator1 = random1 indicator2 = random2 entrycond1 = (random1 > random2])   indicator3 = random3 indicator4 = random4 entrycond2 = (random3 > random4)   return entrycond1, entrycond2

   

  timeframe (4 hours) entrycond1 = CALL "indicator" timeframe (default) entrycond2 = CALL "indicator" if entrycond1 and entrycond2 then buy 1 contract at market endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  timeframe (4 hours) entrycond1 = CALL "indicator"   timeframe (default) entrycond2 = CALL "indicator"   if entrycond1 and entrycond2 then buy 1 contract at market endif

  Why does it not work like this? How should I be doing it to make it work? I do not use this code above I am just talking in general. What am I doing wrong with the CALL on MTF.

  Because when I do call like this (wiht my other strategies) I get this message “the function “indicator” called from “strategy” returns 21 values but your codes needs 2. I can not understand what I am doing wrong..

  The indicator returns 2 values, so you need to use 2 variables when using CALL.

  The indicator RETURNs 3 data so you need to use 3 variables when CALLing it.

  Ofcourse I did wrong in the example. But even with 3 data and 3 varialbes on calling it, it somehows give different result. It works to backtest but the result differ when its 3 different timesframes (it does not work correctly)

  Post the complete code and details about issues, date and time of candles with wrong data, instrument and default TF used, so I can get the same results.
