Strategy builder issue

[Manuel17]

Hello,

I would like to test a simple strategy based on the RSI: if it is below a given threshold (i.e. 35) I would enter a long position. However when I test it with the strategy builder, it does not work. Here is the piece of code that I think is the problem:

// Condition set 1
if (RSI(14, 3).Avg[1] <= 35)
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
}

Do you see where is the issue?

Thank you,

Manuel

Hello Manuel,

I do not see anything wrong with the condition.Could you clarify what is not working?

You are trying to read one bar back. To do so you have to escape the first bar. That means the you have to unlock your strategy and add code to it. Add this line, as the first line in OnBarUpdate().

if (CurrentBar < 1) return;

Search the forum for that as a phrase, and you will see why you need it.
