I need to build different time frame fractals in my strategy (4H; 30M; 5M time frame fractals) It is also very important to be two candle bars closed after Fractals and find those fractals breakout.
I tried a lot of possibilities with Fractal Indicator and with Historical Candle combination too, but either it has a problem with different time frame fractals forming or Price breaks fractal if it is not yet formed.
Would you please give me some tips?

After much effort and working hours, I got some good results, but I still have some unexplained actions:
1. Sometimes the Stop Loss is triggered unplanned;
2. Sometimes STOPLOSS and ENTRY levels are not updated (not always);
3. It opens more than one order.

Maybe someone can find out why it is so..

Hi,

Unfortunately the videos that posted requires an account creation to be displayed;
What I can say after a quick look to your file is that Get Hisotrical candle with multiple time frames works well but you need to keep in mind that your ouputs (candle4H, Candle30, candle5) will be retrieved every 10 seconds. This means every 10 sec the strategy will give you the values of your candles according to their time periods. So you may need to consider that for the rest of your strategy.
More details are welcome ...

Hi Amine,

Thank you for your always quick reply.

Does it mean that the conversion into TICK settings is way out?

P.S. The first two videos, that do not need the password, are the nearly same as the third.

Short description of the strategy is that you wait for pullback of the trend: AB, BC and trading happened on C point and take profit on D

1. Find trend direction on the 30M time frame so too on the 4H chart, they must have the same direction, If it is not so, wait still 30M chart direction fit 4H chart direction:


2. Change to 5M chart and wait for the pullback:


3. Opening pending order with stop loss and take profit:


4. Manage pending order:


5. after submission of the order, you should manage to stop loss as well.

Hi,

I've included some tips and modifications inside your strategy. I hope this will help you understanding the way multiperiod frame works.

Thank you anime, you have helped me a lot with them...

You're welcome !

Anime please I have problems again

1. Only "buy stop" or only "sell stop" components functioning well but together they have problems (entry and stop loss prices are not updated more by "Pending Open")

2. I can not update stop loss price after Buy/Sell entry


3. I can not define trend direction with the BOOLEAN variable properly, Maybe better do it with another variable? e.g. with SIGNALor COMMAND?

P.S. I can not find complete information about how to us component blocks correctly (Trading, mathematical and Logical blocks I need a lot) not in "VisualJForexGuide" as well as "VisualJF Help" (on forum pages I can not find anything even)

Can you suggest me the links?

Thanks again

Hi,

No worries, I can help you but I you have to do more efforts



If one side only works well then 2 sides will work for sure: Do no connect your SL update function after OPen @market because it work work in a " serial" way so the system should go through all blocks since the beginning before reading your SL updating blocks/conditions (think like it was an electric connection). So move the SL updating to somewhere else where it wouldn't be blocked by inconsistent condition, make sure your position is created or filled or submitted before executing an update to a linked SL order



Same as above, if a logic worked with one sequence it will for more than that but you have to pay attention: Example: I see that your Booleans have a start value = True > Right click on the variable panel and switch it to False so that when your conditions are verified the Boolean will change to True. Also, I don't see the reset to False sequence ? meaning when your Boolean var get back to False ? after a position is closed ? after a trend reversed ??



We can arrange a one-to-one meeting if you wish. Let me know your availability

Cheers !

Hi Amine,

I am very grateful for your offer of one-to-one meeting, but my English knowledge is limited, especially at speaking and I'm afraid I'll waste your time.

Your chat answers always are very comprehensive and always fills my lack of knowledge, thanks for it.

Thank you very much for your help Amine

Hello amine,

Would you please help me again?
New problems appear by directional filtering.
I want to filter trend direction on 4H and 30M chart. (Broken fractal on this timeframe corresponds to trend direction). First time I try it on 30M time frame and if it succeed on 4H time frame will be the same principle. I added this block:




but it created only Buy orders and sell orders forgets.





Have I done something wrong again in this block?

Thanks in advance for your reply

Hi,

Your short positions are not created because there is condition(s) blocking that: Either the number of open positions >0 or any of your logical triggers is not verrfied.
Your strategy is also sending pending orders with a price = 0
Also, I don't think that you've understood correctly the way Boolean (or any logical trigger whether it is Boolean, Double string, etc ) works. In my previous post I've written:



Can you check your strategy again ?

On the other hand, the strategy is huge (in terms of size and blocks) in comparison with its requirements. You're also mixing the use of TIck and Candle start methods, can you explain why ?
At this stage I recommend you to take a step back and write down in simple assumptions the strategy requirements then start a new file from scratch.

Hi amine,
Yes, you are right, I do not understand the way how BOOLEAN works.

I thought so:
e.g. If on the 30 min. time frame last bid candle high breaks upper fractal level it means that chart direction is up on this time frame and it will be assigned as "Trend30M_UP"



I tried so too, set BOOLEANs value to FALSE, but then the backtesting doesn't work more: Not BUY so SELL orders anymore. If I change it to TRUE backtesting starts working.

I found in "Contest" same examples of strategies that were set on FALSE and with backtesting they did not work too. Can be so that the strategy is correct but backtesting doesn't work ??? Can be that it will work by live chart ???

Hi


Check page 42 of the user guide.
In your example you have:
Conditions A B C related to trends (30 mn 5mn etc) that has to be verified before entering the market then:
the IF condition that sits before open at market plays a role of filter that blocks the flow till the above conditions are verified so this filter is done using boolean which should let the flow goes only if activated by conditions A, B C etc. In other words let say :
Trigger (Boolean) start value is True (by default it starts as True) then
ABC conditions conditions confirmed --> Assign value False to Trigger and in parallel you have : IF trigger = False then Open position ...

The above logic can be reversed : you start with false and then switch to true. The start value whether it is true or false doesn't have much importance, the most importance is the way the switch is made (assign / Reset to original value)

You can even use different variables such as Double and do exactly the same thing. Imagine if you have a logic with a prameter that can take 3 values, you can use a Double variable (number) that starts for instance with 0 and takes the values 2 if condition A happens , it takes 2 if condition B happens and takes 3 if C is there ... then at a given moment (position closed or whatever) it gets back to 0 so the cycle is ready for the next flow.



Now let's get back to your strategy: this is due to another condition that is blocking and definitely not the Boolean. If you set the Boolean to True the strategy will trade randomly as your conditions are not verified yet.

Off-the-topic: We have an issue with historical tester impacting Jforex and Visual Jforex platforms. our tech guys are working on that ... we'll be fixed soon..

Cheers !

Hello Amine,
Because of I could not test BOOLEAN strategy I have it rebuilt, but still have I trend filtering problem on the 30M timetable. Bulls and bears have their sound by breaking 30M timetable down- or up fractals but can not go short if 30M chart is down and vice versa.




Would you like please show me the right way to solve this task?

I think I've made mistakes by signal creation and implementation.





Thank you in advance for your help

in this case strategy makes only long and no shorts
