Hi I am try to cut loss once ema5 cross over ema30. However it seems not that case. Please have a look the vfs what went wrong. Also if you can suggest to improve the vfs.

My objective is if long, once ema5 is cross lower than ema30 should close the position. That's apply to short, once the ema5 is cross higher than ema30 shall close the position.

your help is appreciated.

Hi,

Please check the attached example which open and closes trades based on crossover, you can implement the same logic in your strategy.
What kind of improvement do wish to add? at which level exactly ?

Thanks

Thanks for the help. I have to try incorporated your solution, however it is not working as i expected. I surely I have done somewhere wrong and hope you can rectify for me.
My thought was three candles continuous downtrend and the latest candle close price is lower than EMA30 shall short sell. It goes to three continuous uptrend candles and the latest candle close price is higher than EMA30 shall long buy.

To close the open position (if it does not reach PT/SL), for the short sell, as long as the EMA5 price is cross over and higher than EMA30 shall close the position. For the long buy, as long as the EMA5 price is cross over and lower than EMA30 shall close the position.

your help is appreciated.

Hi,

There was couple of mistakes in your file and I quickly changed couple of blocks but indeed it has to be tested thoroughly.


Cheers

Hi thanks again for the rectification.
When I run the test, it stops after 1 transaction (open and close), why is that so? It should have look for the next pattern to long/short. Please advise.

Hi Can you help me on the previous query?

I looked at it, and your if block going down to the close short was linked to itself and not the close and cancel position block.

Hi In fact I have rectified, however, when I run with historical test for 1 week data, it only open and close (1 transaction). Sub-sequence will no on position. Why is that so?

Hi,

Did you tried to test for more than a week on Historical tester ?

Hi I did run on monthly test however, it is still not close position when it crosses on EMA 5 and EMA 30 can you assist?

Hi
I have not getting help from anyone since last discussion. Anyone help please.

Hi Thanks for the prompt reply. However I test it, and it still not close the position when EMA5 cross EMA30. Can you have a look, as long as any open position should be close as long as ema cross over.

Hi,

Can you please try to "play" with exit conditions to meet your requirements ?
Currently , I'm afraid to tell that you should wait for the next release to be 100% sure that all related issues that may impact this strategy will be fixed to be able to test on a blank page

Thanks gain for your patience in this matter;

Cheers

Is this problem solved now?
I have the same problem. I have 2 MA's and at the cross the strategy buy or sell and by the next cross the strategy has to close the open position.
But the strategy doesn't close it. The Code works well because i have counter for the crosses.
Thank you for support.

Hi,

Could you please post your strategy and explain its behavior and we'll check that ..

I will do so far as possible.
