Hello Support,

I try your strategy called "ATEMPLATESIGNALSTRATEGY"(in post https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/forex/jforex/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=45657) wich use MACD and STOCHASTIC indicators.
Unfortunately, the result in back test seems strange.
So I have separated macd and stochastic signals and problem comes from stochastic.
It should open a buy order if K(current) >D(current) && K(previous) is<=D(previous) and open sell order if K(current) <D(current) && K(previous) is>=D(previous). Sometimes, it does what is expected, sometimes, completely not. Is it the ontick method wich open wrong order or something else? What must be corrected to have corrects orders?
I have attached strat ATemplateSignalsSTOCHONLY and a snapshot. If you want to check, you can use the parameters in the strategy, they are the same used for the snapshot.
Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers,

Consider logging all the necessary values to see why the strategy makes the trade and why it does not:

Hello Support,
Thanks for answer.
I spend much time to back test this strategy and as you can see on the snapshot attached, it trades.
I don't know how to use the logging values strat in the link. The code you provide (conditions for buy/sell) in the strat seems ok.
But as you can see, it trades (open buy or sell) whereas the conditions (stoch cross) are not met.
Do you think stochastic is only a visual indicator and can't be traded in an automated strategy?
Do you think (in a another way) that it opens a trade before the current bar is closed?
Im sorry but I learn more and more in the forum and in the wiki, but there is a lot of knowledge and it takes long time
Thanks to consider my request,
cheers,

We added a couple of logging statements. Please test and add new statements in a similar fashion, if necesary.
