Hi Giok,

you would have to provide more information as we can't see the debug files you created that make you think the code does not compute a value for hh.

Using the following code in an indicator works fine on my end.

 

Code

input: N(4); var: K(0), hh_barsback(0),hh(0); HH = 0; for k = 0 to N-1 begin if High[k] > hh then begin HH = High[k]; hh_barsback = k; end; end; Plot1( HH, "HH" ) ;

I've tried but I think the code has some problem finding the highest high, it does not calculate hh. If D > D[1]then begin Lsetup = 0; If C < L[1] and L = lowest(low,5) then Lsetup = H ; end; input: N(4); var: K(0), hh_barsback(0),hh(0); HH = 0; for k = 0 to N-1 begin if {Low[k] < Lsetup and} High[k] > hh then begin HH = High[k]; hh_barsback = k; end; end; print(File("C:\Users\utente\Desktop\outputMulticharts\test.txt")," symbol ",symbol," date ",date:7:0,spaces(2)," time ",time:4:0,spaces(2)," lsetup ",lsetup,spaces(3)," hh ",hh); Regards, Gioak

Hi ABCTG,

Putting the code in an indicator it works, i've tried. Like signal it does not work, i don't understand the reason.
I attached the debug file.

Hi Giok,

in general the code should give you the same results in both indicator and strategy and the code from my previous post works fine within a strategy on my end.
You can utilize i_SetPlotValue and i_GetPlotValue to exchange values between a strategy and an indicator on the same chart and plot the values. This can help in tracking differences down.

Hi ABCTG, thank you for your seggestion, i've tried the code like indicator and it works,even if it doesn't calculate what it should be.
This is the what i've elaborated, how you can see it does not work.

Gioak

input: N(4),Mystop(1000);
var: Lsetup(0), K(0), hh_barsback(0), hh(0);

Lsetup = 0;
If C < L[1] and L = lowest(low,5) then Lsetup = H ;

hh = 0;
for k = 0 to N-1 begin
if Low[k] < Lsetup and High[k] > hh then begin
hh = High[k];
hh_barsback = k;
end;
end;
If hh <> 0 then begin
IF C[1] < hh and C > hh then buy next bar at market;
IF marketposition > 0 then hh = 0;
end;
Setstopcontract;
setstoploss(MyStop);

Hi Gioak,

as previously suggested, check your values for Lsetup as they might prevent the code from finding values on bars you are checking.
You might also want to consider if it could make sense to store the value of 'hh' in an additional variable, which only gets reset
after an entry.
