5 min bar vs 60 min bar

[Lisa1980]

In creating a strategy where you say

if(Open[1]>Close[1])
Enterlong();

Where in the stratgy code can you change to reflect if its an hourly bar or a minute bar or a 5 minute bar. These values will be different for differenrt timeframes?

Please advise?

Thanks

Hi Lisa1980,

When you apply the strategy to a chart, it will be the interval the chart is set to. If you apply this at the Strategies tab, or Strategy Anaylzer, you will be prompted to enter the instrument and interval at that time.

So there is no way to hard code it in the strategy to use only specific type of bar durations like 60 min bars?

Hi Lisa1980,

You can add a series and run all the conditions against the proper BarsInProgress.

Lisa1980,

Here's some examples of Boolean logic statements using BarsArray[] and variables:

MACD(12,26,9)[0] > 0
&&
MACD(BarsArray[my_60m_bar],12,26,9)[0] > 0
&&
MACD(BarsArray[my_1d_bar],12,26,9)[0] > 0
&&
MACD(BarsArray[my_COMPQ_5m_bar],12,26,9)[0] > 0
