timeframe on ticks

zomega · 2021-05-28T08:05:32+00:00

Hi all i am seting a backtest with 2 different timeframe, one on 3 000 ticks to give a trend indicator and the default one on 100 ticks. defparam cumulateorders = false timeframe(3000 ticks, updateonclose) xClose = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4 if(barindex>2) then xOpen= (xOpen[1] + xClose[1])/2 xHigh= Max(xOpen, xClose) xLow= Min(xOpen, xClose) endif c0 = xclose > xopen c1 = xclose < xopen timeframe (100 ticks, updateonclose) if intradaybarindex =0 and c0 then buy 1 contract at market endif set stop ploss 2 set target pprofit 2 When i try to run it, i have the attached error message but i dont get it: 3000 is a multiple of 100 so 100 is a common denominator to both TF … where is the problem ? thx for your help !!

Hi all

i am seting a backtest with 2 different timeframe, one on 3 000 ticks to give a trend indicator and the default one on 100 ticks.
```
defparam cumulateorders = false

timeframe(3000 ticks, updateonclose)

xClose = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4
if(barindex>2) then
xOpen= (xOpen[1] + xClose[1])/2
xHigh= Max(xOpen, xClose)
xLow= Min(xOpen, xClose)
endif

c0 = xclose > xopen
c1 = xclose < xopen

timeframe (100 ticks, updateonclose)

if intradaybarindex =0 and c0 then 
buy 1 contract at market
endif
 
set stop ploss 2
set target pprofit 2
```
When i try to run it, i have the attached error message but i dont get it: 3000 is a multiple of 100 so 100 is a common denominator to both TF … where is the problem ?

thx for your help !!

Only time-based TF’s are allowed.

No ticks, Renko etc…

Use the correct forum, as highlighted in yellow below.

For strategies use ProOrder. I moved it.

Thank you 🙂
