For example (refers to red box in attached screenshot of ES 5 min chart): 1. There are three green candles 2. The delta of these three are: 61, 157 & 26. 3. Add up to 244 4.

Is that a backtest you had on the first post?

TJ

The chart evaluates the indicator/strategy at the End Of Bar (EOB).
If the conditions are met, an order is triggered at the next tick, which is the opening of the next bar.

Your code will not trigger an order at the end of the week because there is no next bar.

Sorry I didn't know I should adjust the post accordingly. I hope now it fits. You have 2 codes there.

Are you talking about backtest?

TJ

I don't see what is the problem.

Each tick is a "trade".

A trade can be 500 shares, or 20 contracts . . .

It would be nice if there is a keyword called PlaySoundOnce.

TJ

Try this:

Code: Select all

Var:
intrabarpersist playonce(0);

if h crosses above wattever and playonce <> currentbar 
then
begin
	playonce = currentbar;
	playsound("c:\soundfiles\wattever.wav");
end;
