SampleAdvancedAutomatedStratv1.1

This is a sample template for a fully automated strategy which does the following:

1. Only enters between 10:15 AM and 3:15 PM (EST) (allows for second time frame as well)
2. Shuts down if PnL is more than $1,000 or less than -$300
3. Enters limit orders for long and short based on signal
4. Covers three time frames but will only have one active position open at a time
5. Cancels entry order if market moves four ticks away from limit order without filling
6. Sets an initial stop at 12 ticks, then changes to breakeven at +4 ticks and trails, tick by tick, from there
7. Scales out of half position at +4 ticks (1st profit target) and covers second half position at +8 ticks (2nd profit target)

UPDATE:
v.1.1 - 2/23/10
1. Fixed CancelOrder() code.
2. Added arrows and chart name plots (since plots will only show on main chart, this lets you know which time frame just took the trade).

Although not listed as a V7.0 strategy, it compiles OK for V7.0.1000.2.

Hello All,

I was encouraged by Big Mike's invitation email to ask even stupid questions, so there you go

.

I am trying backtesting of this strategy "as is" and have no trades executed against ES, VXX, DAX, AAPL, MSFT etc. I guess reason for that is obvious, however my limited experience with NT prevents figuring out what the problem is.

This seems to be very promissing if not strategy on its own, then template for different strategies.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
