Hi Henry thanks for your response.

Just to clarify, are you saying that inorder for the break even top to kick in consistently I'd have to use Multicharts 9?

Thanks,

Jason

JoshM you nailed it. That was it. Thank you, I just spent the past 4.5 hrs improving my strategy. Thank you very much. I figured since I didn't have to declare the doji or shooting star as a variable, I could just do the same with Output Variable Returns, clearly there's still a lot to learn :) Than...

Thanks Josh. Appreciate the response. You raise a good point. The way the signal lets you set the breakeven stop is by the number of points from your 'base level' which I'm assuming is the entry point. So my understanding is that once price moves into profit by the number of points you set yourself ...

I'm having issues with the 'Breakeven Stop' signal. When I first started using it a couple of weeks ago, it worked fine. But lately it hasn't been working very well. I know it's not a margin thing bc I use small position sizes and I've seen it work with 7 different currency positions open at the sam...

HI, I've got an autotrade program I'm trying to improve by adding candlesticks. Doji candlestick patterns work fine - no issues. But when I use any pattern that has an Output Variable return, I get an error message. Even if it's exactly copy and pasted from the TS Functions and Reserve Words pdf. Ex...

Hi Henry, Thank you for your reply. I've since contacted IB and got two different answers from two different reps. One said I would have to order Quotes Booster for $300/month and the other said it wasn't necessary bc I'm trading futures and not equities. And even so if it was necessary, I would hav...

Thank you very much JoshM. I would have never been able to figure that out. My code is only 4 lines. I'll give it a try this week and let you know how it goes.

Truly appreciated,

Jason

Has anyone backtested with IB beyond their 1 year of historical data? I learned that it is possible to extend the amount of provided historical data (up to 5 years) through an API change. But I chatted with one IB rep and he said I would have to buy a QuoteBooster subscription and and would cost abo...

Hello, I've backtested a strategy that has returned 200% profits since January 2013 to today using a continuous contract with the IB data feed. However, after searching for code or built in features, I have two questions so that the results are more realistic to potential investors: 1) How can I add...

Dear cael, The situation has not changed. TWS API still have this limitation. Hi Dave, I've downloaded data going back to 1998 and I believe i did it correctly as per this screen shot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kraelk97wwa7xfi/2014-12-13_Quotes_Added.png?dl=0 But when I try to add the older data to...
