Hi, everyone!
I’m trying to code a weekly High & Low S&R breakout strategy on the daily timeframe.

On the weekly timeframe the strategy would simply be:
Buy next bar at High Stop;
Sellshort next bar at Low Stop;

Very simple.
But to do this on the daily timeframe with the last week High/Low isn’t as easy.

I can get close by using the OHLCPeriodsAgo function and create a weekly channel that I use for my Buy and Sellshort orders, only problem is it doesn’t seem to work before Monday has closed, making every breakout on Monday stay with the previous weeks period High/Low.





Is there a better way of doing this or can the OHLCPeriodsAgo function be modified so that Mondays also work as intended?

Appreciate all the help I can get.

Oh, and here is the code for plotting the weekly channels:

Vars: oPeriodOpen1(0), oPeriodHigh1(0), oPeriodLow1(0), oPeriodClose1(0),
oPeriodOpen2(0), oPeriodHigh2(0), oPeriodLow2(0), oPeriodClose2(0);

// OHLCPeriodsAgo( PeriodType, PeriodsAgo, oPeriodOpen, oPeriodHigh, oPeriodLow, oPeriodClose )
// PeriodType sets the time period on which to base values (1 = Day, 2 = Week, 3 = Month, 4 = Year)

Value1 = OHLCPeriodsAgo( 2, 1, oPeriodOpen1, oPeriodHigh1, oPeriodLow1, oPeriodClose1 );

Value3 = oPeriodHigh1;
Value4 = oPeriodLow1;

Plot1( Value3 );
Plot2( Value4 );


And here is the code for the strategy:

Vars: oPeriodOpen1(0), oPeriodHigh1(0), oPeriodLow1(0), oPeriodClose1(0),
oPeriodOpen2(0), oPeriodHigh2(0), oPeriodLow2(0), oPeriodClose2(0);

// OHLCPeriodsAgo( PeriodType, PeriodsAgo, oPeriodOpen, oPeriodHigh, oPeriodLow, oPeriodClose )
// PeriodType sets the time period on which to base values (1 = Day, 2 = Week, 3 = Month, 4 = Year)

Value1 = OHLCPeriodsAgo( 2, 1, oPeriodOpen1, oPeriodHigh1, oPeriodLow1, oPeriodClose1 );

Value3 = oPeriodHigh1;
Value4 = oPeriodLow1;

Buy("BuyLong") next bar at Value3 Stop;
Sellshort("SellShort") next bar at Value4 Stop;
