    It’s getting late … that’s probably why I don’t see the error.
    The following problem with this test system:
    I created it as a breakout MTF, breakout from the M15 chart with the data from the M30 chart. So far it works according to my ideas. But … if I switch to the M3 chart now to add a trailing stop … my breakouts will no longer work. Unfortunately I cannot find the error. Can someone help me please?

    Hello phoentzs,

    Quite late, yes. Or early !

    I am sure this is too simple … but if this line determines when not to trade, and your comments speaks of twice while the code does trice … who knows.

    Edit : Never mind, because you don’t use that variable.

    #181921

    It is a trial code, so many variables are not used. I’m building the strategy with a few things from my construction kit. Add the system to the M15 chart and it will work perfectly as it should. But if you switch to the M3 or M5 or M1 chart, it should actually work. But it doesn’t. The question is why? Something is wrong with the MTF instructions. I believe.

    Try increasing the number of units used in  your default TF.

     

    #181926

    Could you please try the system to find out why it doesn’t convert the inputs to lower TF?

    #181929

    Line 76?

    JS

    Try removing “UpdateOnClose” in the timeframes.

    #181932

    Explained again in words: The Trend and Highest [10] high come from the M30-TF. The close comes from the M15-TF. In the TF M15 it works as it should. But now I want to add a trailing stop to the M3 with this system structure … When switching to TF M3, it is noticeable that the system structure no longer works. Instead of several 100 entries, I only have 10 or 20 in the same period.

    @JS Why? I can’t test it now, but my MTF systems actually all work with “update onclose” …

    #181934
    JS

    When you remove “UpdateOnClose” it shows the trades again (not sure why)

    #181936

    Could you please try the system to find out why it doesn’t convert the inputs to lower TF?

    Did you try increasing the units?

    A couple of variables are not defined, Start and Step.

     

    #181937

    The trailing stop is still commented out, first only SL / TP … JS says it works without “Updateonclose”. But why without? Does that change the logic of the system?

    #181938

    I would change line 59 to

    timeframe (default)

    The 15 min TF seems redundant if you’re going to run it on 3min

    #181940

    The “Close” from M15 is faster than the “Close” from M30 … that was actually the point of the matter … at least it seems logical to me. Similar to my H4 breakout. Do you remember nonethless?

    #181942
    JS

    If you change nothing in the original code except replace “Crosses Over” by “>” then the trades show also in a 3 minute TF (again not sure why)
