JOsh thanks ,without testing it I think the strategy is my idea. about time: I SAID 1430 because usuallly it happens bettwen 1330 to 1530 but, of course it is not matematic . i said 1430 just to give an input to you but the time exacly to openshort is not easy to decide,for sure is between 1330 and ...

RedBerlin

hey Josh really thanks I think just give a look at strategy it si more or less 90percent my idea. 2 things when I say start entry at 14.30 it means that it is only chance to entry , I mean if condition is at 15.00 I dont want entry at market. maybe will be more efficiency say to strategy : open shor...

RedBerlin

HI jOSH
Thanks
yes,at yesterday close

RedBerlin

thanks Josh
but if we change percentage in points ?
give up on percentage ,maybe in points is possible?
I mean : if ES LOSE 2 POINTS AND ND GAIN 20 POINTS AT 1430 THEN SHORT 3 CONTRACTS OF ES.
another qestion: in pre build and in forum I have not found
code of trendline ,do you have got?

RedBerlin

hii Josh tjhanks for your time, the strategy is very simple maybe too much but never mind. example : start at 1400- in preopening to wall street value of nasdaq and sp500. if nasdaq 100 futures (at 1430 ) is up 0,40% and sp500 future is about around -0,10 % o less then short 3 contracts of sp500 and...

I think so, but if you want to trade 1 instrument with 4 strategies, then you can also just trade from the chart and don't need to launch the Portfolio Trader.

have you any ideas to what I have to change? in this way is impossible trading.

RedBerlin

with your code it continue to enter in market every bar. I didn't change the enter long or enter short conditions, there are still: // Enter long if (vTrend = 1) and (vTrend[1] > 0) then begin (...) // Enter short if (vTrend = -1) and (vTrend[1] < 0) then begin These come from your code. If you wan...

RedBerlin

the code above doesnt enter stop loss for example. That's because the `vStopLossPrice` variable is calculated each time when the if statement above it is true. For example: if (vTrend = 1) and (vTrend[1] > 0) then begin buy ("EL") next bar Close + 4 limit; vStopLossPrice = (Close + 4) - TicksAway; ...
