Cpu

[tonynt]

Hello,

I use now variables for my stoplosses (eg an EMA or Donchian) and I want to ask if the value of the variable is calculated with every incoming tick and therefore CPU intensive.

I don´t need with incoming tick. It´s OK with close of bar. Is there anything to add in the coding to avoid data update by tick so that there will not be problem with the ressources of the PC?

Thanks
Tony

Tony, there is a strategy example that shows how to run some calculations once per bar and other calculations every tick.

In your case, if you have CalculateOnBarClose set to false, it is calculating the value of a stop loss every tick but that would not count as computationally intensive. If COBC = true, then it is definitely not CPU intense.

Thanks, where is the strategy example pls?

Sorry, the link is embedded in the text if you click any where in the section "how to run some calculations once per bar and other calculations every tick."

I'll also paste it here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=19387

Austin, thank you for your reply. I have a question to the thread about variables and stoplosses yesterday. In the meantime I do stoplosses with variables and I can do with Donchian or Keltner....

But I want to ask please how I can do so that my stoploss with the variable is realized only with close of bar. Eg now with my variable the stop is realized when price hits the Donchian but I want to have stoploss eg when close +2 ticks is below donchian lower.

Thanks
Tony

Tony, you would then need to setup a condition that monitors for this to happen and send an exit order then (ran in the CalculateOnBarClose = true) part.

Hello,

of course this can be done with conditions and to send an exit order. But there occur overfills with NinjaTrader this way! Asking about overfills I get the information about risks of electronic trading. OK, no problem, I do it different. So the only thing to come to an end and to avoid some of these risks is how to bring this condition (eg close below ATR) in a stoploss.

Best
Tony
