I am trying to figure out what is going wrong when I am using Strategy Builder to automate my trading.
Simple starting strategy:
- Go long on the candle following an inside candlestick IF the high breaks the high of the inside candlestick by one tick.
- See the first attached photo for a trade that I want the automation to take.
- As you can see the buy was executed at 4311.75 which is one tick higher than the previous red inside bar's high of 4311.5
- See the first attached photo for a trade that I want the automation to take.
- The trade is made on a bar following an inside candle at 4378.
- However, the candle the trade was made on never ticks above the inside green candle's high. (Trade shouldn't have been made)
- The 4378 entry price is the high of that red candle, but I don't want it to execute that trade since it didn't tick above the previous green inside bar's high.
Another question I have is how would the strategy builder know that 4378 is the candles high if this were to happen in real time? Looking back it is easy to see that 4378 is the high of that candle but in real time you wouldn't know that.
I will attach a copy of the Conditions and Actions I have done thus far.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Nick
