To Dukascopy Support,

I want to save the value at which the conditions for taking a trade are met in a variable. My strategy is such that sometimes the value at which the conditions are met for taking a trade and the value at which the trade is opened are different.

For example, if stochastic fast crosses stochastic slow, a BUY trade should be taken. According to my strategy a buy trade is taken due to another condition as well. But I want to store the value at which the conditions for a BUY or SELL trade are met in a variable. Kindly suggest a method. Thanks.

Jimmy.

For indicator calculation see:

See a strategy which employs a similar algorithm:

I am sorry but I don't think any of the above suggestions address my problem. I wish to make indicator calculation since the point of time the conditions for taking the trade are met. The above suggestions address only to indicator calculation by shift, candle interval and time interval.

Please suggest another method. Thanks.

Please elaborate which pieces of information you are not able to find in our wiki.

The value at which the conditions for taking a trade are met, is to be stored in a variable.
For example, if the conditions for taking a EURUSD trade are met at 1.3200, then this value is to be stored in a variable so that it can be used for closing of the trade with respect to it.

Could you please suggest a method or an example in wiki to do that?

It should be similar to this but instead of the value at which the trade is opened, it should be the value at which the conditions for opening the trade are met.

Please give precise examples of:

• Conditions.
• Actions on meeting the conditions.

I am attaching a strategy which explains what I want to add.

Acc. to this strategy when the conditions for BUY trade are fulfilled, the BUY trade would be taken and if it breaches the level of 25 pips ONCE and then crosses it back, the trade would be closed.

Similarly, a SELL trade would be taken when the SELL conditions are fulfilled and if it falls below a level of 25 pips ONCE and rises above it again, the trade would be closed.

Now, on line 88, the condition is

priceLevel = order.getOpenPrice() + instrument.getPipValue() * 25;

In this condition along with order.getOpenPrice(), which fetches the value at which the trade was opened, I also want to include the value at which the conditions for opening the trade were met. This is because the value at which the conditions for opening the trade are met and the value at which the trade is opened are not always the same. Sometimes they are different. Hence, I wish to include this condition as well.

I hope you have now got the idea of what I wish to include in my strategy. I request you to suggest a method to fetch the value at which the conditions for opening a trade are met.

Thanks for your help. I have found another way in which my issue can be addressed instead of fetching the value at which the conditions for opening the trade are met.
