Strategy using TCTrending TSF indicator

[mrbeanbag]

There is a free indicator available from tradingcoders.com , it is named "TCTrendingTSF . It is

This is a Time Series Forecast line - a type of Linear Regression using the Least Squares method. The standard implementation attempts to forecast the direction of price

Now, I am trying to build a strategy that uses TCTTSF as one of the inputs, specifically if TCTTSF is an uptrend then I want to be long, and visa versa. Problem is I keep getting errors when creating the strategy, and if I don't get an error I get trades that go long in a downtrend.

Can anyone help? If I could just make a strategy that goes long when TC is trending up (ie is colored blue) then I could go from there. Thank you. And also thanks to the people who made it , it seems quite useful

By the way, do all NT 6.5 strategies have to be converted for use in NT7?

mrbeanbag, you could always contact the author of the script to see if he/she has any pointers for using the indicator in a strategy.

If you posted the code here, others would be able to help you easier.

And no, not all 6.5 strategies must be converted. That just depends on what codes are used in the strategy that have changed from 6.5 -> 7.

Maybe you could answer a simple question. How do i state when the TSF line is blue or red to indicate obviously a long or short? You can use rising or falling b/c it can either blue or red when rising or falling - any ideas?

Hello hifreq,

I do not know the different overloads that this indicators takes, but you may be able to use Intellisense to be able to find out what the different overload methods (arguments) that it takes.

Here is a link to our Help Guide that goes over Intellisense that you have view with an example under the "Understanding Method Description and Signatures" section.
