Newbie questions about automatic trading with ProOrder code

Pjotterd · Tue, 25 Jul 2017 17:23:10 +0000

Hi, I’m quite new here, but I have the following questions. I’m creating a code, but I can not figure out how to create the following piece of code: Every trading day I would like to know what the highest market price is between the previous day 21.00 and the current day 04.00 hours. And I would like to know what the lowest market price is between the previous day 21.00 and the current day 04.00 hours. Trading hours are from 06.30 hours until 21.00 hours I only want to trade when the 1-hour candle closes above the highest market price mentioned before or when the 1-hour candle closes under the lowest market price mentioned before. When the 1-hour candle closes above the highest market price, we take a long trade with a stop loss of 230 pips and a profit stop of 800 pips When the 1-hour candle closes below the lowest market price, we take a short trade with a stop loss of 230 pips and a profit stop of 800 pips We will only trade once a day. So after the first trade, the system should stop. Thanks guys!!!

I have used the 250 pips profit stop in PRT as well, but I do not get any results at all…. I have used the same parameters and the spread as well.
If the code is correct the PRT backtest results should be equal to the manual test results. But in PRT I do not have any results at all.

ps. I’m using the Gold spot (E1 contract), 1 hour timeframe

First time you have mentioned Gold?

Attached results on Gold 1 H TF … Time = 040000 lower curve, Time = 010000 upper curve.

There are results on Gold so is attached of interest / help?

Okay, I was confused as you said … in PRT I do not have any results at all … so I thought your code didn’t open any positions for you in PRT?

Anyway, let us know when you sort it please as I like to know there is closure on a problem.

Cheers

Ok, I think I have found the solution. Look at the code. That gives me the results I want. Thank you guys!

Yeah now you have the 17 Trades in June you wanted / needed, but most of them are closed within the same 1 H bar (as opened) and so don’t show as positions on the chart results (but they do show in the Orders List / Tabular results).

Do you get the same equity curve as attached?
