Loop in strategy

Postby Drogo » 11 Aug 2014

Hi I Use loop in strategy to compare prices aprox. 500 bars back. In side loop I make decision to make an order.
Problem is that the strategy works live or if i use playback. It is not possible to do backtest.

Example:

Code: Select all

Vars: BuySignal(false), Counter1(0), Counter2(0);
Array: arrnumber1[64](0), arrnumber2[20](0),
// I have some numbers in arrays

For Counter1 = 0 to 63
begin
For counter2 = 0 to 19
begin
If low = open + arrnumber1[Counter1] / arrnumber2[counter2] then BuySignal = true else BuySignal = false;
end;
end;

If BuySignal and marketposition = 0 then
begin
buy next bar at market;
BuySignal = false;
End;


setstoploss(1000);
setprofittarget(1000);
Is there any solution how to do backtest or rewrite the code?
Thank You.

Hello Drogo,

What do you mean exactly by "It is not possible to do backtest"? Do you get any message?

Hello Henry,

There is not any message. Optimization process works, but the Optimization report is empty(full of zeros).

Please validate your code conditions. You can find a debugging logic example here.
