Greeting here.

I am Newbee here. Really want to use this classical algorithm in Jforex. First want to try it in VJ.

Attached is the file I try to run. But when test, it always just stop with no other information.

The Algorithm is very simple.





Build the Range.

The long signal is calculated by



. The short signal is calculated by





Than when the price higher than the cap, go long.When price lower than the floor, go short.

I try to using this strategy in GMT 6-18. On candle get the floor and cap parameter first, than on tick compare the price to get it run.

Please tell me why it can not start back test.

Thanks.

PS: somehow I can not upload file. So I put it in dropbox.

Cheers.

Greetings ruinsloveyu,

I looked at your strategy and it seems like you have done an excellent job so far on your strategy. However, you have got the concept wrong for creating a counter and collecting data of past candles for HH, HC, LC & LL. Please take some time to go through the 3 tick increments example in the Visual JForex Tutorial PDF or look at Mr.Dirk's VFS file via the following link, which works with candles:
https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english ... 65&t=49978

Should you have any further questions, then please post them below.

Thanks, Checked things you give me.


Here is the modify file. Already can run. But need solve these problem further:

1. Figure out how to make the logical how to open 2 sell position when have 1 buy position.

2. How to close all the position when New York sesstion end.

3. Don't know if when I using multiple action to get daliy historical candles and run open order in 10 sec period smoothly(Of course I open market after London session).

Is there any thing I can read.

PS: I am go though strategy contest every day to get ideas.


Still can not uplade file

Greetings again Ruinsloveyu,

Let's address your questions in order:


Can you please clarify the concept for such a logic first, then it will be much helpful to create blocks for such a purpose. So, are you trying to simply increase the volume each time; for example, 1 buy, 2 sell, 4 buy, 8 sell, 16 buy, 32 sell ...?



Just as your strategy opens market orders between the European and North American trading sessions, the same logic can be implied to close positions. Please look at the following screenshot and please note that I have applied the closure of open positions 2 minutes prior to the end of New York session because of trying to avoid a higher spread that occurs at the exact closing hour.




This is happening because your strategy's default period is set to daily. Please look at the following screenshot to make the appropriate changes. Replace the "Start Value" from Daily to 10 seconds and it should resolve the issue.




All of the useful materials that you should be reading are in the forum and on the Visual JForex Tutorial PDF. Submitted strategies for the community contest are all useless, since a majority of them are just bunch of copies of one another.
Nonetheless, you can always request for a one-on-one webinar from Dukascopy by emailing them at [email protected] and/or correspond with them via email if you wish to keep your strategy private. Otherwise this thread is yours, and keep posting your questions here as they arise!


This issue should be resolved now and you wouldn't have to go through the trouble of uploading your strategy file elsewhere.

Happy Year of the Dog in advance to you! Woof Woof

Thank you for you helping. And also wish you happy New Year.

Got it. Will go through all forum during the Dog year.

For this question. I mean when I hold a long position. If the signal sell is trigged. Close one long and open one sell.

Beause the original logical for this system is always in the market and not setting any profit and stop loss first.

Just hold sell when trigg long signal, close it and open one long.

It also may open several long if it has a long trend. Because it will trigg more buy signal and still hold all the long position.

I alrady a lot of change, and a lot of things fit your answer.

Here is the new questions:


1. I only want to open 1 postion in one day. How to set this. And after another day it can open one more long if has signal.

2. I may hold a lot of long postions, how to using position viewer to close one the first one long when there is a sell signal and open one sell.

Here is my update strategy. I want to stick to orginal logical rules of this system. So will not close it after NY session. But will meet the questions before. Alrouth I change to 30min period. It still open too much. But I really don't want to put this system to H4 period.

Thanks, Now I have a long holiday to check this during the Chinese New year holiday.

And still serve error for uploading.

Hello,

Back to work.

Just follow your instruction. But still get a lot for lots in one day. Checked but confused.

Is any thing I can read in this fourm about Get Time Unit. After reading the Guide, still not get it.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yGp_j ... h9VpE5ICT4

Hello again,

Yes there is a whole sub-section of the forum dedicated to "Working with Time", click on the following link to access it:
https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english ... .php?f=197

If you still continue to having trouble with the "Get Time Unit" component, then let us to what exactly is the difficulty you are facing with it.

Thanks, will check it.

And for you really great help. Althrough this Dual not work. My other simple strategy is working fine.

Really many thanks.

Hy!

I don't want to open, other thread for my problem, I think it is related some way in to this topic.

I use the VisulaJforex, and have a strategy what opens 2 position if the conditions are right. I allowed it to open 2, but i dont want to open it at the same time on the same candle.
I want to run 2 (or more if this issues is solved) position but the second one must run after a new condition is formed.

I dont have a clue where to start to solve it.

Did anyone do it before?

Thx in advice!

Hy!

I searched on the forum and found a setting where the time is key to open positions.
https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english ... ime#p91119

My try to implement it to my strategy was not successful.

The last bid candle candle time variable don't count when the program is runing, and the other two variable to compere candle time shows default time 2018.01.01. i tought the program didn't get to them thats why, but not. It reaches the boxes and set the GO variable to true or false. I changed the if block to open positions 1 so if the open position is equal to 1 the program should do the time restriction, but it does not.

My program opens every time 2 or 3 trades on the same candle depends on what i set in the all positions amount. If i set it to 2 then just 2 is opened, if i set it to 10 it opens 3 positiont. I tought i play whit less equty but the maximum open positon on one candle - i dont knonw why - is 3. And i don't get it why!



I don't known if this forum is dead or not, but i would attach the vjf file if someone think he/she can help me whit this, and have time for me.

Thx anyway!

Ok!

I think i'm just talking to my self here..

I try to solve the problem, whit the time thing, but i dont get it.
THis loop sould check if 1 position is open, then get the last time of the filled candle, add to 3 hours and after then, the cylcle is ended.
Outside the loop, get the last canldes time and check ifs greater than the counted one, add assing to it true ot false.
I do this on the tradeevent start point.


On the candle startpoint i put the variable true or false on an "If" block before the strategy checks the conditions. It should be fals if the current candle time is less than the counted one,
and true if the counted one is less than the curent one.


It does nothing! It does not change the variable, and dont get the time + 3h.


The problem is in the logic, or?


Should the tradevent startpoint activ soon as the strategy created a positon?


When i dont put in a loop this, noting hapens eather.


I wont stop, if i should i will spam one of the devlopers email blox, but i Will get this shit running!


Good Night!

If you will spam developer's mailbox you will be just blocked. So it's better not to do it and send the request once. It can even consist the link to this topic and the answer will be published here when it will be ready.
