immedieate strategy entry

[tonynt]

Hello,

I have set calculateonbarclose = true; because of PC-ressources (when I understand correctly that with false the PC needs a lot more ressources).

But how can I do then an entry immediately in my script-strategy. I have already eliminated all entry conditions to avoid calculation (onbarclose). But even with the only condition (always true) GetCurrentAsk() > GetCurrentBid()) the entry is done only at close of bar/open next bar.

How can I have with calculateonbarclose an immediate entry in a NT-script-strategy (as I would do with market order in chart trader?)

Thank you
Tony

tonynt,

The only way to immediately enter orders it to use calculate on bar close = false. You can separate your logic for calculating each bar close, and for calculating each tick by following the example at the following link. This will help save system resources.

Thank you!

Do I understand right and the sample is the exact opposite of what I want to do? In the sample the entry is only at close of bar but the indicators are calculated each tick?

In my strategy there´s only to calculate for stoploss. Is this correct then to do:

if (atmStrategyId.Length > 0)
{

//if close[0] is 100*TickSize in my direction short//
if (FirstTickOfBar
&& GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyId) != MarketPosition.Flat
&& Close[0] < GetAtmStrategyPositionAveragePrice(atmstrategyId) - 100 * TickSize
)

AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(0, DonchianChannel(8).Upper[0], "STOP3", atmStrategyId);

Thanks

tonynt,

Yes. Essentially you can use the first tick of bar to be your on bar close logic and then otherwise it will be every tick logic.

Thank you!

When the strategy is running with COBCfalse and in the same chart where the strategy is enabled there are indicators - are the indicators then also COBCfalse? So there should be the stragegy enabled in a chart with no indicators when COBCfalse?

I think this is an important questin, I couldn´t find an answer about this concern.

Thanks
Tony
