I have learned a great deal from this site over the past few weeks but unfortunately still feel dwarfed by the amount of knowledge I find here. Not only feel embarrassed to answer a question but more so to ask one. Any way here it is :
Below is my buy / sell code ( based on John Ehlers Center of Gravity Indicator ) Something is just not right; it buys and sells OK but I can't test it in the strategy tester...all results come back insignificant. Any help is much appreciated.
//************GO LONG
if ( (iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 1, 1) > iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 2, 1) && iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 1, 3) > iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 0, 3)) )
{ Print("Trading condition [(iCustom(Symbol(), 0, Center Of Gravity Oscillator...] is valid. Trying to open long position...");
Buy(Symbol(), 0.01, 30, 15, 15); }
//************EXIT LONG
if ( (iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 1, 1) < iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 2, 1) && iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 1, 3) < iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 0, 3)) )
{ Print("Trading condition [(iCustom(Symbol(), 0, Center Of Gravity Oscillator...] is valid. Trying to close long position...");
CloseLong(Symbol()); }
//************GO SHORT
if ( (iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 1, 1) < iCustom(Symbol(), 1, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 2, 1) && iCustom(Symbol(), 1, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 0, 3) < iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 0, 3)) )
{ Print("Trading condition [(iCustom(Symbol(), 0, Center Of Gravity Oscillator...] is valid. Trying to open long position...");
Sell(Symbol(), 0.01, 30, 15, 15); }
//************EXIT SHORT
if ( (iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 1, 1) > iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 2, 1) && iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 0, 3) > iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "Center Of Gravity Oscillator",8,true, 0, 3)) )
{ Print("Trading condition [(iCustom(Symbol(), 0, Center Of Gravity Oscillator...] is valid. Trying to close short position...");
CloseShort(Symbol()); }
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Is it possible that indicator needs TickData? If so, you can probably only test it under Replay mode. Back testing and strategy testing only provides bar data, not tick data, back to the strategy.
