yes this is my question, how can i exchange the numbers between the systems ?

Thank you again.

best regards

In case you use Global Variables for example, you'd use one set of Global Variables for the systems and their numbers. I would create an input in the system for the system number (or name), the global variable element location for the name and an additional number for the maximum number of systems you are using.

Using the maximum number of systems you can loop through all numbers, retrieve the signal names for each signal and with that you can look up the market positions etc. (which of course needs to be stored in each signal and a set of global variables).
It might sound a bit complicated, but it works well.

yes a little bit, but i m going to understand....

For example:

CODE 1

if (marketposition <>0) then FlagSys1 = true
if (marketposition = 0) then FlagSys1 = false

if (conditionlong and FlagSys2)
buy 1 share....
if (conditionshort and FlagSys2)
sellShort 1 share....

CODE 2

if (marketposition <>0) then FlagSys2 = true
if (marketposition = 0) then FlagSys2 = false

if (conditionlong and FlagSys1)
buy 1 share....
if (conditionshort and FlagSys1)
sellShort 1 share....

Which is the best way to permit to CODE 1 to see FlagSys2 variabile and to CODE 2 to see FlagSys1 variable ?

i need to use data 1 data 2 data 3 data 4 ?

can i use it from different charts ?

Thank you again for your time.

There is no need for Data2 etc. unless you use it in your system of course. Let's assume one signal is on chart 1 and a second signal on chart 2.
You use Global Variables so the signal on chart 2 knows the market position on chart 1 (or what ever you want to check for).
If the signal on chart 1 is in a position you can use this information to block the execution on chart 2.

Ok perfect, and thx again for your time !

"You use Global Variables", this is the problem, how can i use/build it ?

best regards

Did you take a look at the document and demo code that comes with the Global Variables? If you don't have it, I can upload it here.

No i don' t have any idea, i'm new of MC and i just know how to build strategies.

If u can post it please !

Thank you ABCTG

Hello again,

i tried to do it:

CODE 1

Code

                            
var: Num_GV_1(0),flagma(0),flagsto(0);
Num_GV_1 = GVSetInteger(2,flagma);
flagsto = GVGetInteger(1);

    IF ( marketposition <> 0) then
    flagma = 1;
    if (marketposition = 0) then
    flagma = 0;
    
condition2 = c CROSS ABOVE Average(C,8);
condition3 = c CROSS BELOW Average(C,8);

IF (marketposition <> 1 and CONDITION2 and flagsto = 0) then
    BUY ( "malong" ) 1 share NEXT BAR AT MARKET;

IF (marketposition <> -1 and CONDITION3 and flagsto = 0)  then 
    SELLSHORT ( "mashort" )  1 share NEXT BAR AT MARKET;

    IF ( marketposition =  1 and c CROSS BELOW Average(C,8)  ) then 
    SELL ( "masell" ) from entry ("malong") 1 share NEXT BAR AT MARKET;

    IF ( marketposition = -1 and c CROSS ABOVE Average(C,8) ) then 
    BUYTOCOVER ( "macover" ) from entry ("mashort") 1 share NEXT BAR AT MARKET;

CODE 2

Code

                            
var: Num_GV_1(0),flagma(0),flagsto(0);
Num_GV_1 = GVSetInteger(1,flagsto);
flagma = GVGetInteger(2) ;
    IF ( marketposition <> 0) then
    flagsto = 1;
    if (marketposition = 0) then
    flagsto = 0;
    
condition2 = rsi(c,14) < 40;
condition3 = rsi(c,14) > 60;

IF ( marketposition <> 1 and CONDITION2 AND flagma = 0 ) then  
    BUY ( "RSILONG" ) 1 share NEXT BAR AT MARKET;
        
IF ( marketposition <> -1 and CONDITION3  AND flagma = 0) then 
    SELLSHORT ( "RSISHORT" )  1 share NEXT BAR AT MARKET;
    
    IF ( marketposition =  1 and rsi(c,14)>50 ) then 
    SELL ( "RSISELL" ) from entry ("RSILONG") 1 share NEXT BAR AT MARKET;

    IF ( marketposition = -1 and rsi(c,14)<50 ) then 
    BUYTOCOVER ( "RSICOVER" ) from entry ("RSISHORT") 1 share NEXT BAR AT MARKET;

this should let the system to buy/short only if flag is = 0, but it doesn t work, in backtesting and in paper trading neither, 0 operations.

Anyone can help me ? what i did wrong ?

Thx again !

Wait wait !

On paper trading seems that it works correctly, nice, Systems works in OR.

is the code correct for you ?

thank you for you time and this thread.
