I’d love to get screenshots of the examples you mentioned. It’d be much easier for me to visualize the changes to do 🙂
Or if you don’t manage to attach screenshots, you could tell me what candle you’re talking about (with accuracy)
Tbh, I made up my own definition of a pinbar, which is that the wick should be at least 3 times the length of the body and the tail (the opposite one) should be small. But I’d rather have your definition since your strategy seems to be doing well
I’ll try and add the short version to the long one when I can. It’s easier for me to focus on one only for now haha

Yeah good idea … copy and paste the above straight into backtest on your Platform!? 🙂

original and opening up possibilities.
So did you find out why you couldn’t import?
The Strategy is lisamitch50 and the code Author is
Thank you to both for sharing your time, effort and ingenuity with us all.

Hey @bertrandpinoy, I have no clue as to why importing the algo proves to be an issue… I’ve tried importing it to my own system and it worked :/
I’ll try and add the code for short positions when I know more about lisamitch’s perspective (and if nobody’s done it before)
Thank you @GraHal, hopefully it’ll generate better profit with more accurate parameters

Morning all.
Well – I think its had a good load of chat great..
Ill try and attach a screenshot of the chart, but not sure if it will be allowed.
Firstly, thank you to all especially BobOgden for all your time on this, the code works for me, but is a loosing code at present.
Secondly, it is a hard one to code i am sure, im not a coder and will probably never be able to code it, Work for god knows how long, home, sort kids out, look at charts, sleep, up to do it all again the next day. I dont even get the weekends off to myself anymore as everyone has either been let go or isolating. So i am immeasurably grateful and thankful for all the efforts going into this.
Thirdly, I do think that this is a profitable strategy (Manual) but the need to automate is because i cant keep getting up at 2am on a wednesday after my PRT system has sent me an email or alarmed to set the trade, its slowly killing me and having to drop kids off at school then go to work is also taking it out of me.
So – Data:
30th September 2020, 1hr Chart (Loaded the code and ran it)
The green candle that it takes a trade on isn’t a pin bar candle, its a full bodied green candle (Normal Candle), so it looks like the strategy is taking trades on the candle thats forming a pinbar, but could then close as a normal candle.
The FIB should show on the candle, then the trade placed on the next candle when it breaks the low of the candle with the FIB on it. See second screenshot (If allowed) where i shall annotate the entry and exit from a trade i took.
I have a few days off at the end of this coming week, so i shall try and create a video and (If allowed) pop a link up to it.
Keep up the great efforts and work guys, and honestly, if you manually trade this, it will make money.
Additional info for the second screenshot:
Wednesday 18th Nov @1500hrs – Pin Bar candle closes. FIB drawn from top to bottom of that candle. Trade set at the same time (Order to enter short) @ 13170.00 (I like rounded up / down numbers) SL (Stop) set to 13220.00, 50 point stop, £3pp trade. Alarm set at 250% FIB at 13108, where i take 75% off and stop moved to BE + 10 points.. Alarm set for 300% and 400% FIB. I closed the rest of the remaining trade at the 400% FIB point @ 13044 for 126.4 point move in total.
The main point is that you DONT enter the trade as the pinbar candle closes, you need to set an order to open a few points below / above the 100% FIB line, that way the trade has a better chance of getting to the 1st target (250% FIB). If you open a trade based on the candle alone, the probability of it being a winner reduces dramatically.
I hope all this makes sense.
