Hi
I am having trouble with backtest.
The program seems to scan my submission but result is “no data”
It’s the same with other codes like stochastic
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False
DEFPARAM FlatBefore = 140000
DEFPARAM FlatAfter= 210000
//buy signal
a=Average[50](Close)
b=Average[50](1)
c=a>b
if c then
// Detection of a bullish engulfing line
Condition1 = Close[1] < Open[1]
Condition2 = Open < Close[1]
Condition3 = Close > Open[1]
Condition4 = Open < Close
// Detection of a bearish engulfing line
Condition5 = Close[1] > Open[1]
Condition6 = Close < Open
Condition7 = Open > Close[1]
Condition8 = Close < Open[1]
IF Condition1 AND Condition2 AND Condition3 AND Condition4 THEN
buy at market
set target $profit 55
set stop ploss 5
endif
endif
Try Line 6 as …
b=Average[50](Close[1])
What Instrument and timeframe and I’ll try it on my Platform.
result is “no data”
I tried on DJI 1 min TF and I get 72 trades and equity curve etc.
What do you mean by …’no data’
Now I get arrows on the chart but the statistics of closed trades all read zero
My chart is the Nasdaq 100 1 min and 2 mins
I am interested in the MACD also but as soon as MACDline appears a warning is flagged up….(line 2 )
/// Calculation of the MACD line
MACDLine = ExponentialAverage[12](Close) – ExponentialAverage[26](Close)
// buy condition
If MACDline crosses under MACDSignalLine then
Buy at market
Endif/ Calculation of the MACD line
MACDLine = ExponentialAverage[12](Close) – ExponentialAverage[26](Close)
I have to change the MACD line…
Would it be possible to change it to a MACDSignalLine to b then
A = ExponentialAverage[12](Close) – ExponentialAverage[26](Close)
b = ExponentialAverage[9](a)
// buy condition
If a crosses under b then
Buy at market
Endif
SET STOP %LOSS 10
//sell condition
if a crosses over b then
sell at market
statistics of closed trades all read zero My chart is the Nasdaq 100 1 min and 2 mins
Try your code on DJI 1 min TF with SL at 80 and TP at 80 (line 22 and 23 on your original code on your 2nd post above) … tell us what you get?
Have tried the DJI 1 min tp 80 and sl 80 with same results, Dashboard has activity but detailed report all rows zero or n/a
One thing, I had 2 alerts at 1147 and 1200 , one stoploss and one profit close.
80 profit in 1 min ??
Screenshots help loads to understand what you are referring to?
See attached what I get. Please post screenshot of same screen that you get?
As you can see from the attached pic, your first code entered quite a lot of tradesover 5K units of 1-minute TF on Nasdaq 100.
Try checking the number of units used, capital and spread…I can’t figure out why!
Cyrillic has a Stop Loss of 5 points so positions will be in, out, in, out in short time.
Hi
I have found the answer to this problem.
The “Launch program” brings up the latest version V11 which will not produce statistics.
Trying the previous version, V10.3 returns complete stats and overview.
I attempted a simple MACD bullish crossover but the backtest panel flagged the first “MACD” so I had to change it.
Is this a valid coding ?
It backtests but some of the flags are not the same as the chart I am observing.
Amended MACD
a = ExponentialAverage[12](Close) – ExponentialAverage[26](Close)
b = ExponentialAverage[9](a)
// buy condition
If a crosses under b then
Buy at market
Endif
SET STOP $LOSS 10
