Hi,

 

take a look at the following code, it generates only a buy if the previous high + 1% will be reached and it will be closed when the low reaches the previous low -1%

What condition do you use ?

 

BuyStop = Ref(H,-1)*1.01; //the formula for Buy stop level;

SellStop = Ref(L,-1)*0.99; //the formula for Sell stop level;

 

// if anytime during the day prices rise above buystop level (high>buystop)

// the buy order takes place (at buystop or low whichever is higher)

Buy = Cross( High, BuyStop ) ;

 

// if anytime during the day prices fall below sellprice level ( low < sellstop )

// the sell order takes place (at sellstop or high whichever is lower)

Sell = Cross( SellPrice, SellStop);

 

BuyPrice = Max( BuyStop, Low ); // make sure buy price not less than Low

SellPrice = Min( SellStop, High ); // make sure sell price not greater than High

  I understand how the logic of the buystop works as currently structured.

If the buystop price is not exceeded during the day (High not greaterthan

buystop) than the backtester will give me the Low of the day as my filled

price.

 

  I have tried any number of logic combinations and can not achieve the

following.

 

  If the high of the day is not greater than buystop than I want NO trade to

occur.  For the life of me, I can not achieve a logic combination that

cancels the buy if this occurs.  I can set the price filled to be the days

open, high, low or close, but I can not cancel the buy.

 

  Any coding help would be greatly appreciated.
