Hello strategy programmers,

I am having the situation, that I want in the parameter list switch on and off parts of my entry condition. But they are all linked with an AND ("&&"). So I cant use a bool with true or false for ignoring the part of the condition.

 

Code

Entry Long Example (with stupid conditions): it works! if ( (aktivLong == true) && (Close[0] > High[1]) && (CrossAbove(Close, Swing1.SwingHigh, 5)) && ... // && (Close[1] > Close[2]) // && (Close[2] > Close[3]) && (Low[1] > Low[2]) && (High[0] > Close[1]) ... ) { EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(contracts), @"EntryLong"); }

 

Code

Entry Long Example (with stupid conditions): it does not works! if ( (aktivLong == true) && (Close[0] > High[1]) && (CrossAbove(Close, Swing1.SwingHigh, 5)) && ... && (Close[1] > Close[2] && activCondition1 == false) && (Close[2] > Close[3] && activCondition2 == true) && (Low[1] > Low[2]) && (High[0] > Close[1]) ... ) { EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(contracts), @"EntryLong"); }

So my idea is, that I am using a "//"-button. But for that I am having no idea, how to solve or: is it possible to switch on and off from parameter list with the "//"?

It is possible to solve this - no matter, how complex a line (a condition from the set) is?

Thank you for your ideas

Best regards,

Code

private bool aktivLong = true; // A property to determine if you should enter long private bool activCondition1 = true; // A property to determine if activCondition1 is active private bool activCondition2 = true; // A property to determine if activCondition2 is active private bool activCondition3 = true; // A property to determine if activCondition3 is active // Define other condition functions that should be checked private bool Condition1() { return Close[0] > High[1]; } private bool Condition2() { return CrossAbove(Close, Swing1.SwingHigh, 5); } private bool Condition3() { return Close[1] > Close[2]; } // Define other condition functions as needed protected override void OnBarUpdate() { // Create a List<bool> to represent whether each condition should be evaluated List<bool> conditionEnabled = new List<bool>(); // Set the conditionEnabled values based on your configuration conditionEnabled.Add(aktivLong); // This represents the aktivLong condition if (activCondition1) conditionEnabled.Add(Condition1()); if (activCondition2) conditionEnabled.Add(Condition2()); if (activCondition3) conditionEnabled.Add(Condition3()); // Check if all conditions in the list are true // The .All() method returns true if all elements in the list satisfy // the condition specified in the lambda expression. bool shouldEnterLong = conditionEnabled.All(condition => true); if (shouldEnterLong) { EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(contracts), @"EntryLong"); } }

Hello trendisyourfriens,

thank you very much for your great idea!

I will test its later the day and then I will give you feedback.

Best wishes from a happy

Hi trendisyourfriend,

I set your code in my test strategy. I am tinking, that I did its at best kind of doing, but so it does not work. To much trades is the result. The filter (on/off) does not work.

Fot this I changed the long entry - the short entry is original and works, so you can compare the resultat.

In the attachment you can find the file for analyzing.

I hope, we can solve this problem

Have a great day,

I identified the problem. Here is the modified script.

I moved some of the lines around and the problem was with this command:
bool shouldEnterLong = conditionEnabled.All(condition => true);

which has become...

bool shouldEnterLong = conditionEnabled.All(condition => condition);

Good morning trendisyourfriend ,

thanks a lot for your great help!

I think, I had understooden the way of your solution to build the short version and the opposite: different exit conditions.

So the "key" for the entries is the direction = long or short (shouldEnterLong) (shouldEnterShort).

That means, that I am no more using a single entry signal and then some filters in my logic - I see its as a "paket" of conditions.

And the same I can do now with the stops: two oder three or four methodes and the "key" is using indicator stops. Here are "yes" or "no" possible, too. If i say "no", then a standard stop condition will take the job:

SetStopLoss(@"EntryShort", CalculationMode.Ticks, 60, false); (with a stop loss, who represents the maximum, that I want to loose as emergency stopp.

If I say "yes", the indicator stop will do the job and the "hard stop" will quit automatically.

So thank you very much, trendisyourfriend. Now one of my problems in programming is solved

Have a great Sunday,
Renkotrader
