Hello

I'm writing my first signal in Multicharts Easylanguage. All parameters to enter in the loop are ok and are reflected in the print command
I'm suspecting the stop command.

I trully accept the fact that it is difficult to debug only a portion of the code, but who knows if I make a big apparent mistake.

Any help appreciated

Martin

Here is a portion of my code.

IntraBarGeneration = True

 

Code

If MyPosition = 0 then begin // No position in the market     If Havelong = true then begin         Print( "Long ", QTY, spaces(1), PricetargetL:0:5);         Buy ("Long 1") next bar QTY contracts at PriceTargetL stop;         Setstoploss (Par * Qty* BigPointValue);      end;        If HaveShort = true then begin       Sell ("Short 1") next bar QTY contracts at PriceTargetS Stop;       SetStopLoss (Par * QTY* BigPointValue);    end; end; //MyPosition = 0 then begin    Some value from the print command.  I would had no value if   HaveLong = False

MyPosition = 0
Print("Long ",QTY,spaces(1),PricetargetL:0:5);

 

Code

Long 125000.00 1.34520 Long 100000.00 1.34510 Long 95000.00 1.34540 Long 90000.00 1.34510 Long 86000.00 1.34560

Just looking at the code it seems yor stop order are not being placed on each bar. You have your stop order within the block defined by a flat position: market position = 0

When you enter a trade, market position is not zero, thus yor stop is not placed except for the bar when your order is entered.

Hello Jeff

Yes, that could be a real problem. I will work arround and post result later.
