I have some strategy ideas that involve storing values in variables, I have encountered the occasional logic bug that I cant figure out, and I am wondering if what I am trying to do is even possible on strategy builder. I am hoping to use strategy builder for all of this because I spend more time fighting syntax errors when coding than actually creating and testing strategies.
As an example of the type of operation I am trying to do, lets use an ATR based profit target as an example. I would like to update the value of ATR and store it in a variable at the end of every bar ATRval, then I will create an input that is called profitTargetMultiplier and set that equal to 2 for example. I then would like to use the arithmetic widget to set the a profitGoalAmount variable which then could be added into a current position average price when creating a limit order to exit. Is there any reason why something like this would not work on strategy builder? Also what would be the best way to go about organizing the condition sets so that they are updating reliably? Cheers, thanks for any input! I am sure this will be the first of many discussions on here!
