Strategy Builder - Using a Buy/Sell indicator

[bnoisette]

I forgot to mention, if you run into little problems like this try painting the background for order execution and reviewing your order entry conditions and also open the data box to get an understanding of what the indicators are printing out (saves time from having to manually use the print function).

Thx for taking a look and pointing me in the right direction

ok Sorry to inquire again but can you check to see if you can get it to take sell orders. I can get it to take buys but it is not taking doing sell orders. I actually changed the code to this (VolumeBasedBuySellSignals1.SellSignal[0] != 0) for the buy signal as well and all it does it take buy orders.

Here is what I have for the short section. On the longs it will still take trades without the print that is why I have it commented out here. The long is exactly the same except labeled "Buy"
// Set 2
if ((VolumeBasedBuySellSignals1.SellSignal[0] != 0)
//&& (Close[0] <= Close[1])
//&& ((BarsSinceExitExecution() > 3)
//|| (BarsSinceExitExecution() == -1)
&& (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat))
{
//Print(@"VolumeBasedBuySellSignals1.SellSignal[0]:" + Convert.ToString(VolumeBasedBuySellSignals1.SellSi gnal[0]));
}
{
EnterShort(1, @"ShortCTP");
EnterShort(1, @"ShortCTR");
