hello,

i recently asked for a way to counter closed positions, so that i could scalp a trend and limit the strategy to take only 4 positions. but with one position at a time. below is the screenshot support team sent, i did a back-test and i got a total of 64 positions.

i used the cci for my basktest.

what i am trying to do is:
1. check that cci 86 is less than zero, open sell trade...close at tp or sl...count closed trades = 1
2. check cci again, still less than zero, open a sell trade again, close at tp or sl..count closed trades = 2.

once it registers 4 closed trades, it stops trading. i have attached my cci strategy, please can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong? thanks.

Greetings!

I kindly ask you to view a couple of our webinars done by members of Dukascopy. That would be at first better for both - you and the community.

https://www.google.lv/search?q=visual+jforex+youtube&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&gws_rd=cr&ei=m4NvUpKhFYvasgb4xoG4AQ

When I look into your strategy you did not define your entry like you said above. I do not want to sound too harsh but maybe you try beginning to program or create some simple strategies first in order to get familiar with the logic. Please go through the videos and try to build them to see what will happen to trading.
Also you can go through the FAQ to get an overview.

Thank you in advance!

hi Dirk_r1,

thanks for the link. I have downloaded most of the youtube videos available. And yes, your response was kinda harsh. All i want is a counter, the picture i posted above was the trade-counting strategy you sent to me. i simply added a CCI indicator to fulfill my entry conditions. maybe, i didnt do it right. All i was trying to achieve is something to count closed trades.

This is still very new to me, but i am sure given time i will get a hang of it. have a good day yourself.

I do apologize for my last post. It seems that I misunderstood you.

In your case it would be very easy to set this up:

Nice evening!
