Reversing channel breakout

I am trying to reverse the channel breakout strategy.
But having no luck. I usually just change the buy and sell orders around on macd and moving averages, in the highestfc function there is extremefc function, which seems to be posing the problem and I have read easy language essentials
a few times but have found no answers...... Obviously I am a complete beginner , any help would be good ,

I am trying to reverse the channel breakout strategy.

Code: Select all

[IntrabarOrderGeneration = false]
input: Price( High ), Length( 20 ) ;

Buy ( "ChBrkLE" ) next bar at HighestFC( Price, Length ) + 1 point stop ;

You need to give more detail.
When you say you "problem", you need to describe the specifics.

1. What are you trying to achieve. "reverse" is a concept, not actionable procedures.
2. What have you done?
3. What should be the expected outcome?
4. What results have you got instead?

Do not use the FC functions.
Just use the regular ones, you will have less trouble.

TJ, The strategy I am trying to get will buy instead of sell on the channel breakout. that is it. I have no other way to put it. Complete reverse of orders.

The result of changing buy and sell orders around on the code came up with a buy and sell on every single bar at the opening price.

I tried changing the code here on extremefc
by reversing the values of 1 to -1 and changing the < var0 to > var0. Just trying to get an understanding. This resulted in no change to the strategy, still had orders on every bar.

condition1 = CurrentBar = 1
or ( HiLo = 1 and PriceValue < var0 )
or ( HiLo = -1 and PriceValue > var0 ) ;

I have no idea on what you are trying to do.
I will let other people chime in.
