Ok ,but how would I then go about if I want a trailing stop to start at just that level where indicator3<span class=”crayon-o”>[</span><span class=”crayon-cn”>2</span><span class=”crayon-o”>]</span> <span class=”crayon-st”>CROSSES OVER</span> indicator4<span class=”crayon-o”>[</span><span class=”crayon-cn”>2</span><span class=”crayon-o”>] </span>? Is it possible to store this value in a constant that I can later use in “trailingstarts?
My code does what you state above, but you still need a start and step value, for example 30, in the code so when price drops by >= 30 the trade will exit.
If you have start value = 0 then if price drops by 1 point then trade exits.
You are imagining that Trail starts at crossover and then price only goes up from there … what if you are Long and price goes down after crossover??
You need to do loads of tests using your Demo Platform to see how all this hangs together else you will forever be working on ‘how you think PRT works’.
This is with the trailing stoploss triggerd at c2. Trailingstart and trailingstep set to 1 should give a similar result as to the one without trailing stop.
1y backtesting gave 23 trades and 61% time in market. Stoploss was triggerd 2 during this year.
I tried with different values for trailingstart and trailing step, but nothing works. As you can see the trailing stop does not work as it should and does almost never sell where it should, and that is “why time in market” goes from 8% to 61%. The results are day and night and they should be almost the same.
After alot of detective work. The second one with trailing, will only trigger “IF indicator3[2] CROSSES OVER indicator4[2] AND (now this is strange) if 2 candles after the cross over the candle goes lower then the close of the one before”
Somehow the trailing stop gets bound with what happends 2 candles after C2 and works ONLY in this candle and ONLY if this cadles low is lower then the previous candles close. And if it dont happend this candle, the bot needs to wait for next C2 bore it can try again. This almost never happends and this is why time in market exploded.
(Yes I have a delay on the sale with 2 candles, but I have the same problem with my bots without it)
I hope I make some sence, and if you have time can help me from here
No, can’t give the same results at all. In your case the system would try to secure a point if you win one point. which is bullshit. Can someone please show him the basics? I don’t have a laptop here.
