Multiple time-frame in a scsript

Dear all, I wish to use a 5min framework to get basic MA and then, on a new bar to trade cross-overs on a tick by tick basis (or 1min). Once the bar is closed, I will get an updated MA value and use it to trade again cross-overs on a tick by tick basis (or 1min). Is it feasible? Do you have some lea...

Simulation: trade on open bar price

Dear all,

Any idea how I can turn the following into an EL code?
If "current bar open > last bar close" then "buy at current bar open"
Trivial but I cant figure it out.
Thank you very much,
Best,

Re: Getting nuts with the "Tried to reference back more bars

Hi TJ,

Indeed but where I bug: how come it gives me the pain? I just can't figure it out.
By the way, does Powerlanguage enables you to check your code line by line "a la" VBA?
Thanks,

Nicolas

Re: Getting nuts with the "Tried to reference back more bars

Sptrader and Stan,

Thanks for the feedbacks.
The cum_CCI is a trigger: when it reaches the value >=5, there is a sell order.
I increased the barbacks to 100 but it doesnt change anything.
My guess is that one of my loop is not correctly set but I just cant figure it out.
Thanks,

N.

Easy way to load the ticker of the members of the S&P500 ?

Dear all,

Is there an easy way to load the tickers of the members of the S&P 500 (for ex) into MC, using IB as quote-source? I didnt find any topic on that subject.
Thank you very much,

Re: Auto-trading MC with IB

Surprised by your answer. If I read correctly the sharp meaning of the "yes"... it implies that if i do a strategy on, let's say, the full S&P 500...I do have to set 500 charts???? can any PC deal with that?
Thanks

Auto-trading MC with IB

Hello,

I wish to apply a strategy to a large range of securities. Do I have to create for each of the security a chart and then activate the auto-trading feature?

Re: Collect RT Data w/o Plotting - Not supported

Hi,

Well, it works now. What I did is open the MultiCharts application and then launch the QuoteManager. Is it the way it should be? i.e. Multicharts must run in order QuoteManager to get data from IB?
Thanks,
