Hi Henri

You think the instruction "Next Bar At Price Stop" will do the order I expect ?

On the attachement, the exemple is for a long position. I imagine that this insctuction works for buy and sell position.

Hello

you buy the close market (close of last bar of the day) and you sell the open market (open of firest bar of the day)?

so...your strategy plays with gap-up only?

hello TJ thanks to your answer :) I have tried to code my idea but finally, I think my idea is not appropriated and too hard to code for me.

Over what period of time do you feel v9 will be available?

hendrix

hello

My problem is similar :

data1 = 100 ticks bars
data2 = 25 ticks bars
data3 = 4 hours bars
data4 = 50 contracts bars

so...optimization walk forward doesn't work.

do you know if the next version of MultiChart allow us to use the walk-forward with different timeframe?

best regards
