„Do not trade while..."

[Deogenes]

Hello everyone,

for instance: I do not want, that my strategy releases a trade during a certain period.

To clarified, what i mean, please look at the image below.

My idea is : If HMA (14) [0] < Close [0] && HMA (14) [0] > Open [0] { enter what ???

...till this period is over, and Bars ar coming who are full over / or under the HMA, so that the strategy can work further.

Thank you for support!

Deogenes,

You do not want your strategy to be able to trade during a certain period?

You could use a flag for that.

if( HMA (14) [0] < Close [0] && HMA (14) [0] > Open [0] )
{
flag = false;
}
else
{
flag = true;
}

if ( Flag && Order_Entrance_Conditions )
{
EnterLong();
}

Thank you Adam,

below i have a example. If i put my conditions in „if" and when this is done... do i have to split the orders?
I mean, must be a part in the long condition and the other part in the sell condition or does it not depand?

[if (longTradeOk && Close[0] > Open [1] )
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "buy");

SetProfitTarget("buy", CalculationMode.Ticks,20);
//SetStopLoss("buy", CalculationMode.Ticks, 40, false);
longTradeOk = false;
shortTradeOk = true;
}

else if (shortTradeOk && Close[0] < Open[1])
{
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "sell");

SetProfitTarget("sell", CalculationMode.Ticks, 20);
//SetStopLoss("sell", CalculationMode.Ticks, 40, false);
longTradeOk = true;
shortTradeOk = false; ]

Deogenes,

You would want to put "Flag" as an additional condition in both sets of "if" statements for example.

[Deogenes]

Okay,

i see. It ´s late in Germany, i will program it next morning, and tell you if it works.

At first thanks a lot.

Need Help!

The basis of my code below, but where to put the flag conditions in. I tried many ways... belive it depends on " Order_Entrance_Conditions" - can somebody help me ?

[if (longTradeOk && HMA(Close, 3)[0] > Close[0]
&& Close[0] > HMA(Median, 14)[0])
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "Buy");
SetProfitTarget("buy", CalculationMode.Ticks,8);
//SetStopLoss("buy", CalculationMode.Ticks, 40, false);
longTradeOk = false;
shortTradeOk = true;
}
//Condition set 2

else if (shortTradeOk && HMA(3)[0] < Close[0]
&& Close[0] < HMA(Median, 14)[0])

{
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "Sell");
SetProfitTarget("sell", CalculationMode.Ticks,8);
//SetStopLoss("sell", CalculationMode.Ticks, 40, false);
longTradeOk = true;
shortTradeOk = false;]

Deogenes,

Try this :

private bool flag = true;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{


  if( HMA (14) [0] < Close [0] && HMA (14) [0] > Open [0] )
  {
     flag = false;
  }
  else
  {
     flag = true;
  }

  if (flag && longTradeOk && Close[0] > Open [1] )
  {
     EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "buy");

     SetProfitTarget("buy", CalculationMode.Ticks,20);
     //SetStopLoss("buy", CalculationMode.Ticks, 40, false);
     longTradeOk = false;
     shortTradeOk = true; 
  }

  else if (flag && shortTradeOk && Close[0] < Open[1])
  {
     EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "sell");
  
     SetProfitTarget("sell", CalculationMode.Ticks, 20);
     //SetStopLoss("sell", CalculationMode.Ticks, 40, false);
     longTradeOk = true;
     shortTradeOk = false;

  }

}

Hello Adam,
thanks for being back again, with me.

I made the same just a moment befor you came in. The hole Thing looks like so: but it do not work! There are a lot of Errors.

Deogenes,

if( HMA (14) [0] < Close [0] && HMA (14) [0] > Open [0] )
{
flag = false;
}
else
{
flag = true;
}

Is only needed once

Also, I made a mistake in the original code.

private flag = true; should be private bool flag = true;

You can attach your code as a file to your message next time and it may be easier. Code is located in My Documents / NinjaTrader 7 / bin / custom / strategy for this case.

Also note : HMA (14) [0] < Close [0] && HMA (14) [0] > Open [0] only tests for if the HMA is inside a "bullish" bar. You may want to add a condition for a bearish one as well.

[Deogenes]

Adam,
it´s much better now / only two Errors. I know how to find the folder (bin) but how to put it in this box ?
Help!

[NinjaTrader_AdamP]

Deogenes,

You can hit the "Go Advanced" button when you respond. In there, there is a "Manage file attachments" that let you add the file.

[Deogenes]

...to know How :-)

Please take a look at that. And then, the second Problem is what you told with the "bullish" thing - thats true!(?)

[NinjaTrader_AdamP]

Deogenes,

Please find a modified one attached. If you check if you are above the open and close, or below the open and close, this is similar. I have added it in as well.

Here is a video on NinjaScript programming : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZpo01eSO9c

[Deogenes]

Wow!

Many, many Thanks to you. Now i can look further, and avoid things nobody likes.
