inside bar strategy

abro163 · 2020-09-12T15:12:20+00:00

Hi I’m a beginner and I coded this from examples on the forum, the strategy buys / shorts the inside bar breakout and closes next bar open. It seems to work properly on all timeframes except higher timeframe like my intended daily TF? Can anyone help, I would also prefer to close before weekends. Is it an issue with my time zone settings? edit : seemed to fix it by changing buy n share at high[1] stop and low[1], how can I close before the weekend? Defparam cumulateorders = false REM inside bar harami = high[0] low[1] n=1 amplitude = high - low if harami THEN buy n share at high stop endif if harami then sellshort n share at low stop endif set stop loss amplitude IF BarIndex >= (TradeIndex ) THEN SELL AT MARKET EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF

```
Defparam cumulateorders = false

REM inside bar
 

harami = high[0]<high[1] and low[0]>low[1]
n=1

amplitude = high - low


if harami  THEN

buy n share at high stop

endif
if harami  then
sellshort n share at low stop
endif
set stop loss amplitude


IF BarIndex >= (TradeIndex ) THEN
SELL      AT MARKET
EXITSHORT AT MARKET

After some more research, it looks like the error is because of sunday candle. I tried turn off display weekend data, but that doesnt fix it

To close at 210000 on Friday, try …
```
Timeframe (1 Hour, updateonclose)
If Day = 5 and Time = 200000 Then
Sell at Market
ExitShort at Market
Endif
```
