RVI in strat

[dsraider]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the RVI in my strat but the RVI looks completely different when calculate on bar close is set to true/false. When set to false, it just bounces back and forth from 0 and 100. I'd like to use it the way it looks (and calculates) when set to true. Is that possible? It's a simple if RVI > 50 go long and reverse for short snippet.

Thanks,
Dave

Hello DsRaider,

You can set the CalculateOnBarClose property as part of your strategy. When you add a strategy to a chart or run it from the strategies tab you will have this control available to you.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your reply. I have to have my strat set to CalculateOnBarClose set to false for my trail and CancelOrder code. Can I separate that from the indicator setting?

Thanks.

Hello DsRaider,

Yes, this is possible.

The reference sample below provides one approach to this:

Separating logic to either calculate once on bar close or on every tick.

Hey Ryan,

I'm familiar with FirstTickOfBar and actually have that in my strat. I think the problem has more to do with the indicator itself. I'm using If(... && FirstTickOfBar && RVI(14)[1] > 50...) but it's taking trades as if I have it set to false.

Please see attached pic. Orange RVI = calculate on bar close true. Yellow shows what happens when it's set to false. Is there a way to use the RVI the way the orange line looks?

Thanks.

Thanks, DSraider.

I see what you're talking about but not sure how to change this. I'll have someone respond later today.

Great. Thanks, Ryan. Maybe then the lambs will stop screaming.

dsraider,

I have forwarded this to development to investigate. Thank you for your patience.

[dsraider]

Patience? You should know me better than that by now, Josh.

Hehehe - thanks.

Hey Christian,

Any chance you can post the bug so I can fix it on my own and use it? By the way, I noticed the same issue with EaseOfMovement.

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks, well look into the EaseOfMovement as well. We'll post an update on these indicators as they passed our internal tests.

[dsraider]

Great. Thanks, Dierk.

Dave,

The same issue does not occur with EaseOfMovement on our end. Please clarify what you feel is wrong with this indicator. Thank you.

Hey Josh,

Just checked again. I might have been imagining things. Sorry for the confusion. I guess it's just the RVI.
