Different Strategies on one chart

Postby siscop » 01 Sep 2011

Hi,
just to make sure I understand it right.
I can put different Strategies on one chart and they all work together? So if one opens the others realize that the marketposition=1?
Example:
I have 4 different strategies…
2 for entries and 2 for exit.

Strategy1:

Code: Select all


If marketposition=0 and condition1 then
Enterlong next bar at market;
Strategy2:

Code: Select all


If marketposition=0 and condition1 then
Enterlong next bar at market;
Strategy3:

Code: Select all


If marketposition=1 and condition1 then
Sell next bar at market;
Strategy4:

Code: Select all


If marketposition=1 and condition1 then
Sell next bar at market;
Q1: Since all 4 strategies are separate I can use the same variables (condition1) with no relationship with another. <- is this correct?
Q2: Can I do that? The Strategies 3 and 4 would catch the entries of strategie 1 and 2?
Q3: How can I transfer variables from one strategy to another? Do I have to go threw a file and temperary store the variable in there for the other strategie to get it or is there another way?

Yes I could just combine the 4 different in one but I have a reason for the seperation.

Hello, siscop.
1) All 4 strategies are separate and you can use the same variables (condition1) with no relationship to another. That is correct.
2) The signals will form one strategy. The strategies 3 and 4 would catch the entries of the strategies 1 and 2. That is also correct.
3) You can transfer variables from one strategy to another with the help of the Global Variables. Please see the attachment. You can find more information about using this dll over the Internet.
