Does anyone know why the low in Jan. crude is 60.43 at 11.50 and on my multi charts it had a low of only 60.46?

Is it possible to use the backtesting engine from code to evaluate many evolving strategies continuously?

Thanks

OK, so why not only plot when the count reaches your threshold and is locked in? You don't have to plot every bar, only the ones that matter (to you). In historical mode this is fine, but in real time during the course of trading the user wants to watch the charts and see the counts forming. So the...

I know how to select update on every tick for the Indicator- but I do not see any option for this for the strategy (if you mean use Bar Magnifier then I have tried with and without it and it is behaving the same..... but I have my code wrapped in: if (Bars.Status == EBarState.Close) { ... } But it s...

Hi, I am using the same function from an indicator and a signal. It is working as expected from the Indicator, however it is not always returning the correct values when being used in a signal. I thought it was related to having IOG turned on in the signal but I have having the same problem even whe...

The logic sounds a bit odd...using your example, you say "lock in", does that mean only once the value is locked in, then you want to do some sort of calculation with this bar counting part of the code? Yes. As soon as the count hits a certain number it will be considered complete and locked in and...

Well what is the best way to accomplish building an indicator where your historical values can be updated until a certain point then locked in. For example, I need to count how many bars have closes greater then the previous bar. For each bar that closes greater than the previous bar I store the cou...

I would like to use a Function, or a VariableObject or VariableSeries where I could alter previous values using barsBack. For example: protected override void Create() { // create variable objects and function objec values = new VariableSeries<int>(this); } protected override void CalcBar() { values...

Hi I am placing text objects on the chart from an Indicator. I would like to be able to "lock" any text or drawing objects that were placed on the chart from the indicator so that while I'm using the chart I don't accidentally move to delete them. The other trading platform had a feature similar to ...

Thanks. I got BarsOfData(2) working correctly now. How do I get the data for the currently open Bar? for example, we are currently trading in the 11:00 am bar. It is not complete yet, but I would like to get the Open, High, and Low of this bar. I used the below but only seem to get the last closed b...

I would like to use the same signal criteria on two different time frames, ie. 5 min and 60 min and when they are both true enter a trade. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? I tried to plot the 60 minute data on the same chart and use the BarsOfData(1) method but I always only get the 5 minute...

Hey all, I wrote a bar counting indicator using demark td sequential rules with some minor modifications to fit my needs. It has been working well for me. I still plan to adapt it to be able to use it in signals but I haven't got that far yet. Please feel free to try it out and provide feedback or c...

for some reason mine doesn't plot properly.

attached image is what I get

Make sure you have enough bars on your chart (at least 52 but 100 would be better)

Henry,

The only problem with setting "maximum fill" is that the fill of the bars goes beyond the top and bottom lines of the cloud. If you are ok with that then it works fine. I wish there was an easier way to accurately shade between two lines.

Thanks

Here is one I wrote that is working well for me.
