Multi timeframe scalp code question

  Hi. I want to create a simple program for automatic trading that creates small scalping trades using 15 minute and 5 minute charts (5 minute is the default).

  I am experimenting with different conditions to open the trade but as an example lets say this is a long trade and the opening condition is that MACDline (12,26,9) crosses over 50 on the 5 minute chart. And the RSI(14) must be below 50 on the 15 minute chart

  On the 15 minute chart I have created 2 bands using the ATR. The upper band is the close + the ATR(14) and the lower band is the close – the ATR(14).

  When the trade is opened on the close of the 5 minute bar I want the profit target to be the upper ATR band on the 15 minute chart at the time the trade is opened, and the stop loss to be the lower ATR band on the 15 minute chart at the time the trade is opened.

  Can you help me to code this please?

  You mean MACDline (12,26,9) crosses over 0 ?

  This the code:

  TIMEFRAME(15 minutes, updateonclose) MyRsi = Rsi[14](close) MyAtr = AverageTrueRange[14](close) UpperATR = close + MyAtr LowerATR = close - MyAtr TIMEFRAME(default) //5 minutes MyMacd = MACDline[12,26,9](close) MyConditions = (MyMacd CROSSES OVER 0) AND (MyRsi < 50) IF MyConditions AND Not OnMarket THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET Tp = ABS(UpperATR - close) Sl = ABS(close - LowerATR) SET TARGET PROFIT Tp SET STOP LOSS Sl ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

  TIMEFRAME(15 minutes, updateonclose) MyRsi    = Rsi[14](close) MyAtr    = AverageTrueRange[14](close) UpperATR = close + MyAtr LowerATR = close - MyAtr   TIMEFRAME(default)                     //5 minutes MyMacd   = MACDline[12,26,9](close)   MyConditions = (MyMacd CROSSES OVER 0) AND (MyRsi < 50) IF MyConditions AND Not OnMarket THEN    BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET    Tp = ABS(UpperATR - close)    Sl = ABS(close - LowerATR)    SET TARGET PROFIT Tp    SET STOP   LOSS   Sl ENDIF

  When computing SL and TP I used ABS(()  to make sure it’s not a negative number, because UPDATEONCLOSE at line 1 makes TF15 values older than TF5 so a sudden surge on the default TF might cause, even temporarily, a closing price higher/lower than it was when TF15 closed.

  If you remove UPDATEONCLOSE then you can also remove ABS() but values on TF15 will be the current ones when the TF5 closes, not when TF15 closed last time.

  If you want to try you can even launch the strategy from a 3-minute or 1-minute TF, since 15 is a multiple of 5, 3 and 1 (not 2).
