I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to program (if possible) a strategy using the NT Swing indicator that will not take the same trade twice.

In other words, If I want to enter a long when resistance is broken and I have programmed the strategy to place the buy stop above the swing high, how do I code for not re-entering at the same price if the trade moves beyond resistance a little bit and then trades back below the level, closing a bar that is now < the swing high and subsequently placing a new buy stop at the same price.

This is what I am starting with..

// Condition set 1
if (Close[0] < Swing(3).SwingHigh[0])
{
EnterLongStop(DefaultQuantity, Swing(3).SwingHigh[0] + 1 * TickSize, "Long");
}

Obviously the strategy is doing exactly what it is supposed to do when the price closes below a swing high it will plot a new buy stop.. The question is how to stop it from re-entering at the same price?

I have attached a picture that will hopefully help...

// Condition set 1 if (Close[0] < Swing(3).SwingHigh[0]) { EnterLongStop(DefaultQuantity, Swing(3).SwingHigh[0] + 1 * TickSize, "Long"); }

Try something like this:

// Condition set 1
if(CrossAbove(Close, Swing(3).SwingHigh),1)
{
EnterLongStop(DefaultQuantity, Swing(3).SwingHigh[0] + 1 * TickSize, "Long");
}

or

if(CrossBelow(Close, Swing(3).SwingHigh),1)
{
EnterLongStop(DefaultQuantity, Swing(3).SwingHigh[0] + 1 * TickSize, "Long");
}

maybe it works...

No, that's just a different way of plotting the entry order but does nothing to stop the re-entry.

It must be less than/greater than so that the order is placed and standing before the break.

Should keep from reentering if already in position,

&& Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat

@Fibbee: You can add the following code:

 

Code

protected override void Initialize() { EntriesPerDirection = 1; EntryHandling = EntryHandling.AllEntries; }

This will make sure that you will not enter long, if you are already long.
