user defined input in condition

[Pokert]

Hello,

I would like define condition where CCI > user defined input.
When I configure this condition in AT wizard, the syntax is: CCI(14)[0] > HI_level,where HI_level is user defined input, integer, default 50.
But it is not functional.
But when CCI is compared to "Numeric value" which is hard seted to 50 ( CCI(14)[0] > 50 ) , it is working.

Please, can anybody help me how can I insert my user defined input to this condition?

Many thanks

Hello,

Please provide a screen shot of your Conditions and Actions window so we can see exactly what you have.

Please confirm that you are defining your user defined input as an integer.

Hello,

I've attached a few screenshots.
1st - I would like add conditions when cci cross above/below line for example at level +/- 200.
2nd - I define intg variables for entry and exit level
3rd - I define condition for entry to short position
4th - compare cci with user defined input (it is predefined to 200 at pic 2)

You use Position.Quantity == 0. A better condition may be to use Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat.

I do not see anything wrong with your strategy. You should be placing trades whenever CCI > -150. Do you see any errors in your Control Center logs when you run the strategy?

Thank you for tips.
I tried to backtest this strategy in strategy analyser and result is "curious".
During main trade time was condition satisfied only 1 time, but I have much fills. See pic. 1,2
But when I set limit for entry to market manually (I meen CCI(14)[1] > 200), It's working good. Pic. 3.
I really don't know what is wrong.

Pokert,

Go back to your User Defined Inputs page and make your variables doubles. Then try again.

I found it now.
All this conditions are working in full range of values, defined in user defined inputs declaration window between default and min value. That's mean, if I declare min value same like default value, the condition is working only for this exact value, because there is not range.

Glad you got it resolved.
