Strategy Builder Question

[tkaboris]

I have generated this
1. Can you please tell me what does this line does - CrossoverDetected = false;
2. Is (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)) better to be part of entry logic? I have several strategies inside one strategy. I keep (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)) as part of time filter. Is it better to keep it inside entry or it can be declared once inside time filter. Whats general rule? Thank you


if ((CrossoverDetected == true)
&& ((CrossoverBar[5] - (CurrentBars[0])) == -5)
// barspresent
&& ((BarsSinceExitExecution(0, "", 0) > 2)
|| (BarsSinceExitExecution(0, "", 0) == -1))
&& (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat))
{
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
CrossoverDetected = false;
}

Hi Boris, I moved your question into a new topic. The CrossoverDetected look like its a variable that you created in the builder, and by the looks of how it is being used, you are using this to prevent this cross condition from occurring more than once per bar. Checking the market position has nothing to do with a time filter, so it can be used outside of a time filter condition. It is used to check if the strategy position is flat.
