How works the flow of PRT? When there is a new Ask/Bid price it execute the code from top to down?
This would be nice (every tick). PRT goes once through your code at the end of every candle. During a candle only pending stop or limit orders will be executed.
but this limitation only in backtesting or even in real mode? This is very frustrating if it is in real mode too..
Get used to it. 🙂 It is in real and in backtest like this.
To make it even better PRT lacks command to for example sell on the close. If you run a strategy on daily bars this is especially annoying. Any market order you give will be executed at the open of the next candle.
arghh.. we have to make a petition! 😀
Let’s hope for the next update. Nicolas said there are many new features to come.
Good morning,
I’mworking on a simple EA; in MQL4 for the debugging we have the “comment” and “Alert” instructions that allow us to see the values that the variables take while EA works. What do we have like in PRT?
Hi juanj
I have a problem with your ichimoku formula:
TS = (highest[T](high)+lowest[T](low))/2 //Tenkan-Sen
KS = (highest[I](high)+lowest[I](low))/2 //Kijun-Sen
CS = close[I] //Chikou-Span
SA = (TS+KS)/2 //Senkou-Span A
SB = (highest[K](high)+lowest[K](low))/2 //Senkou-Span B
the results differ too much from those from the PRT ichimoku indicator. In particular note CS’s position regard to kumo:
PRT your
SA[3] 1.17841 1.17908
SB[3] 1.17854 1.17908
CS[30] 1.18022 1.17765
is there a way to see the ichimoku code of the prt indicator?
Maybe I’m wrong about something..
Unfortunately, the code for the built-in Ichimoku is not available.However we know Chikou-Span is calculated as the current close 26 periods back, thus my calculation should be correct.
However we know Chikou-Span is calculated as the current close 26 periods back, thus my calculation is correct.
It could be that the difference is because of price differences between bid, ask and mid in ProOrder vs the Chart. Not always sure what price ProOrder uses in calculations.
ok, I have done a request if they give the code of the internal PRT indicator, if they don’t give it, can you write an ichimoku indicator so in the chart the EA has the same informations?
Otherwise, is there a way to take values from the internal indicators? In MQL4 there are somo instructions to do so, I don’t know in PRT..
I first version of the semplified ichimoku EA is working, but without the perfect match of what I see on chart it is impossible to understand what to optimize ..
I have to stop waiting to fix the problem with the indicator…
The attached indicator is the real and same indicator as the internal Ichimoku indicator.
Ok, the issue with the indicator is solved, now I can optimize the EA behaviour.
When we open an order, I think that an indexed number is assigned to it like in a relational database. Is there a way to read this number? In practice the EA should be able to check if its order has been closed.. from an external event to the EA too.
The current bar is stored in BARINDEX. The index of the last trades you can refer to with TRADEINDEX(n). With trade index 0 being the last trade.
The last part of what you wrote I didn’t understand. If a position of a strategy is closed by an external event (for example user interference) it will be stopped completely.
