Buy Sell Pressure in Strategy BUilder

[bsbisme]

Hello - I'm trying to add buy sell pressure to a strategy in strategy builder that currently prints markers just fine but when I add the requirement that buy sell pressure > 70 (for example) it doesn't generate any markers...So I tried >.70 and it put a marker under every candle. Any help as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Hello bsbisme,

Do you see this working if you use the 1 bars ago value?

BuySellPressure().BuySellPressure[1]>=.7 this prints a dot under every bar. Thanks

Hello bsbisme,

The value from buy sell pressure will most always be greater than 0.7 because it will either be 0 or a positive number of volume like 1, you would need to use whole numbers with that indicator.

Yes, thanks. As I mentioned, I tried to use the whole number 70 as well and still doesn't work for me. Thanks

Hello bsbisme,

Did you try that with 1 bars ago? The BuySellPressure relies on live market dat and also resets its value on the first tick of the bar which can cause difficulties in accessing the value. The values re returned as whole numbers so 0.7 would not work because it would mostly always be true. You can view the chart to see what values are being reported for the instrument being used and then use those range of values.

Thanks. Yes, I did use the whole number of 70 and 1 bar ago which is depicted as the [1] correct? So I now have BuySellPressure().BuySellPressure[1]>= 70

Hello bsbisme,

Yes that would be correct. If that is still not working you may want to use a Print to output the values that the script is seeing in a separate set with no conditions. That would let you know why that is not working.
