Hi, I don't use them due to other situations, but I did some initial research and liked what I saw so far: tradersaccounting.com If nothing else, they have a...
The one trade at a time will take care of itself. A backtest will not "Buy" again when already long for a given symbol. Or were you referring to not entering...
Hi Chad I was intending to do the sell side also. So, if I was in a long position I would wait for the trade to hit target or stop out before placing another...
www.greencompany.com has a lot of good info online you can read; if you need more help, you can consult with one of the accountants or tax attorneys. I've...
Right...if you are in a position, whether long or short, the IRT backtest will not allow you to enter another position. Now it would consider "buy more" or...
Hi Chad Thanks for that, excellent stuff. Not as complicated as I first thought! Have a good weekend Chris ... backtest ... consider "buy ... you're ... or add...
stops, targets need more rules. and reverse also? close end of day? once I had a kind a basic trading system that did all that. One could set stop target in...
Hey Chris...I'm still learning how to create trading systems on Linnsoft, but for what it's worth, I've posted a chart definition on the site called Chris_CCI...
Bill, Chad, or anyone with experience on "efficiency" of indicators/formulas...F_Trader suggests using the arithmetic version (SET(V#1,CI) with CI=(A>B)*C +...
Thanks, John...I hadn't seen the autotrading page with Ninja, although it's exceedingly important to me as I've just gotten that platform for trading. Will...
More recently, RTL has gained a special operator that selects one value or another based on a true/false (Boolean) expression. It's called the ? a:b operator,...
Eddy claimed that the arithmetic formulas were more efficient based on his testing. In particular he said that the "OR" statement could be speeded up the most...
Ok, I finally figured out how to get out of the loop I was in, but it was not real easy. I attempted to use MPD to add a Signal to a chart of a different ...
Lily, I have not experimented with it yet, but each indicator has a "Recalculate every" setting at the bottom of the update dialog. Just double click on the...
Mike / Lily Thanks for the offer of help. I'm really just putting together a template back test system, as I tend to use targets alot. Lily, Big thanks for...
Investor/RT has a safety valve that issues this warning message when the user attempt some action that involves loading more than one million ticks for some...
More help please. First I see the warning that I some how requested IRT to access more than 1 million tick values as a very good safety feature. But, I still...
Hi John...sorry to hear about your loop and forgive me for not trying it out...I wouldn't be able to help you with it anyway. I'm aware of the "recalculate...
From Eddy's Syntax lesson and Bill's comments on my efficiency question, we can see that the scan I did for you was the old fashioned and inefficient means to...
Lilly, I thought I had some VB indicators set to 5 seconds and was able to save that setting. Something must have changed along the way in an IRT upgrade and...
I can relate to feeling like I'm loosing my mind sometimes (but I refuse to believe it's senility...yet ;-))...but I'm pretty sure it's not just me every time,...
VB indicator is required to calculate every 1 tick....since it must see each tick and process each tick in order for it to calculate properly. IRT forces VB...
Hi Lily No need to apologise! Any help given is greatly appreciated. There are a few more questions I have on backtesting in IRT, but I need to play around...
It is possible to build a CI from scratch that will return the same market delta number as the VB indicator (trades at ask minus trades at bid) and to set this...
