Fred,
In order to avoid situations you described below, one has to close out
positions intraday, i.e. daytrade.
Any positions overnight are subject to huge gap ups and downs.

That depends on which overnight it is ... and where you are in the

Hi Joe,
Thank you for mentioning about Bright Trading. While I hadn't heard
about it, I will google it and see if I can learn from it.

Thanks to everyone who posted, especially those who gave testimony
to their real life experiences.
You can't beat practice coupled with good theory.
Every short term trader who holds overnight is in effect 'buying the
open' the next day, which I agree is like having a blindfold on.

I would not use IQFEED. If you do a search on this forum you will see

Allan,
There was some good discussion on IQ versus Esignal starting at post
#98974 'Help with latest IQ feed'.
They recently add sme fdata to their price quotes (similar to QP?).

Can be done, but not a short answer.
Try "pre-trading" it with your
own variables. Then you can "watch" and see if both trades signal and
either wait until they do or at least require both sides to exist before
allowing your trade (e.g. myBuy = condition) to become true for the real

After working my way through Custom Backtester I realized that that

Put this statement at the top of your code, using the time frame you
want:

This forces that chart to stay at that time frame provided your VIEW is

I've been placing market orders overnight, therefore I've been
entering at the "open." So far, I haven't been screwed with the
opening price that I've gotten (I made like 10 trades...some gapped up
because the entire market gapped up several times). This week has
been a great market, so I'm up 5%

You will need a new ticker symbol anyway for the new contract so your

While running the separate instances, were you using separate

You do not need the custom backtester, you need intraday data if you're

Donchian:

DonchianLower = LLV(Ref(L,-1),pds);
Sense is to buy new hours highs/lows when they get confirmed.
Buy the new hour high, when the highs of the next 3 bars is higher
