Re: Percentage Intraday Drawdown Stop for each trade

Thank you Polly! Hi altoncrooks, You can use special orders SetStopLoss and SetPercentTrailing . They can close the entire position but can’t close the separate trade. Unfortunately there is no pre-built function for MAE. In the strategy performance report it is calculated as a percentage from the v...

I would like to use the Maximum Adverse Excursion diagram to find the best percentage stop. But I don't know how to set a stop that would fit the per...

Re: Indicator messing up my charts [SOLVED]

Thank you so much. Your advice worked. Thank you, sir! Alton, please refer to the second sentence of the first reply in this thread. Checking the value before you plot should solve your problem. When you are dealing with static values like overbought/oversold values you could also save them in a var...

Re: Indicator messing up my charts [SOLVED]

I figured out how to post a picture. As you can see the centerline drops to zero. I would like the centerline to remain in the center at the Far Right. Thank you in advance for any help.

As you can see from the attachment, the centerline of the two ocsillators in the bottom two charts drops off to zero at the far right. I do not know why it does that. If anyone knows how to get them to stay in the half way point and not drop off at the end, I would greatly appreciate any help. Oscil...

ABC Thank you for this. It worked. Is there a way to do this on indicators that are not on the same chart with an instrument? I am using an RSI indicator and I connected the setting of the RSI with a signal using a fuction. For some reason the centerline just drops to zero at the far right. Is there...

Indicator messing up my charts [SOLVED]

I made an indicator that tracks my stops on the chart. Unfortunately, when the stop is filled the indicator calculation goes to zero which messes up the scaling of my chart. Is there a way that I can fix this?
