  Hi

  If I want too invalidate a system after a specific date in a indicator how do I get it right in the system? If I do it like this the backtest shows different result with and without the “Aktiv”. Whats wrong??

  Indicator

  IF OpenDate > 20210501 THEN //Stoppdatum i maj Datum = 0 //Invalidera alla signaler ENDIF return Datum AS "Datum"

  1 2 3 4 5

  IF OpenDate > 20210501 THEN //Stoppdatum i maj Datum = 0               //Invalidera alla signaler ENDIF   return Datum AS "Datum"

  System

  Datum = CALL "Indicator" Aktiv = Datum >= 1 TaPosition = c11 AND c12 AND c13 AND Aktiv IF TaPosition THEN BUY positionStorlek CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  Datum = CALL "Indicator" Aktiv = Datum >= 1   TaPosition =  c11 AND c12 AND c13 AND Aktiv   IF TaPosition THEN BUY positionStorlek CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF

  Your indicator should be:

  Datum = 1 IF OpenDate > 20210501 THEN //Stoppdatum i maj Datum = 0 //Invalidera alla signaler ENDIF

  1 2 3 4

  Datum = 1 IF OpenDate > 20210501 THEN //Stoppdatum i maj    Datum = 0                //Invalidera alla signaler ENDIF

  Otherwise DATUM will never retain value 1.

  Thanks, missed that. But why do I get different backtest results when I use “Aktiv” in “TaPosition”?

  If you are using very low TF’s, such as a few seconds, it might be that the period has canged, while you were modifying your code, so a different period will yield different results.

  In any case only the real code may be investigated.
