Hi there,

I was wondering if it's possible to have logic running under both running simultaneously. For example the following scenario,

onTick:

counter variable which is incremented by one every time a tick occurs or if certain conditions are met for a tick

and, onCandle:

manipulates or resets the counter variable every time a new candle opens or closes for whatever time period that candle is.

Please let me know if that logic is possible in vjforex or not.

Cheers!

Hi,

This looks to be consistent and can be implemented in Visual Jforex. Generally speaking, the use of more than a single start point is possible, some ideas requires even all the start points.

Thanks Amine.

I am having a hard time with this. I have attached an example of what I am trying to do for critique.

The basic idea is that I want onTick to check for certain conditions with every tick,

if a condition is met then a counter is incremented by 1

I then want the onCandle start point to reset these counters with every new candle (of varying candle periods which can be controlled in parameters). In the attached example, the counters would be reset with every 5 minute new candle.

Does this work? I have been trying something like this without success. It seems that the counters keep getting reset and no trades are taken.

(I didn't add this to the attached example but a simple trading logic would be something like if bidcounter>10 open a buy order, so essentially it would have to reach 10 within 5 minutes for the trade to be taken, otherwise it gets reset with the new candle).

Am I missing something?

Cheers,
Sam.

That worked.

Thanks Amine!
