Entry and Exits on 2 different strategies

[Ousher]

I want to make 2 strategies,
1 for Entry only on Price Change
1 for Exit only on Bar Close

Is it possible to do that and synchronize the 2 different strategies?

Hello Ousher,

Thanks for your post.

Strategies are only able to see orders placed by that specific instance of the strategy. This means that if strategy 1 places an order, strategy 2 would not be aware of that order.

Something you could consider doing is creating a single strategy that separates some logic to work OnPriceChange and other logic to work OnBarClose.

Logic can be separated between Calculate.OnPriceChange and Calculate.OnBarClose using IsFirstTickOfBar. Please note that a hosted script will inherit the Calculate mode of the script that hosts it.

You can take the following approach to differentiate logic between OnBarClose and OnEachTick processing. In your script, you would use OnPriceChange instead of OnEachTick.

Please see this reference sample which demonstrates a technique used for those who need to separate their logic to calculate some values on each tick and others only on the close of a bar. You will set your host script to Calculate.OnPriceChange and use if(IsFirstTickOfBar) and place all code that needs to calculate once every bar within that condition check. Then place all code that you want to calculate OnPriceChange outside of the IsFirstTickOfBar condition check.
