Assistance for strategy creation

[jonilobato]

Hello to you all

I am trying to backtest a strategy that consists in the following:

e-mini SeP daily bars chart whith 3 indicators: EMA(4), EMA(8) and SMA(18)

The conditions for a long possition are: If close Price>EMA(4)>EMA(8)>SMA(18), for 3 consecutive candles. Execute a long position in the 4th candle opening Price.

The stop is equal to the profit and its triggered when the Price crosses the SMA(18) line.

The conditions for the short position are the exact oposite.

I have already made a strategy that plots a Green triangle up or a red triangle down, when the conditions are filled, but i dont know how to count the triangles and execute the order in the fourth triangle.

If anyone can assist me, i will be glad

Best regards

Hello Joăo,

Thanks for your note.

Is this a Strategy you have created with the Strategy Wizard?

The action needed here is to have an integer which you increment when an arrow is drawn.

This is not within the abilities of the Strategy Wizard and will have to be done in the code for this strategy.

For example:

#region Variables
private int arrowsDrawn = 0;
#endregion

private OnBarUpdate()
{
if (// conditions to draw the arrow would be here)
{
if (arrowsDrawn = 4)
{
// code to submit order would go here
arrowsDrawn = 0; // reset the variable when it is on the 4th arrow
}
else
{
arrowsDrawn++;
}
}

Please let me know if this does not resolve your inquiry.
