Two questions about strategy builder.

[GeminiSi]

Hi,
Stuck again

Very simple method. Need help selecting from strategy builder because these two selections don't work.

1. Buy at specified date only. In this case July 3, 2017. (only testing month by month)
I know I must choose Time-Date Value, but don't know what else to select.

2. Price has risen by 15% or greater in the last 22 bars before the specified date of buying. (basically the previous month)

Thanks,Simon

Hi,

1) Why not define the specific date in strategy analyzer ?

2) Something like this could work:

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
ROC1 = ROC(Close, 1);
MAX1 = MAX(ROC1, 22);
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBars[0] < 1)
return;

// Set 1
if (MAX1[0] == 0.15)
{
}

Hello GeminiSi,

Thank you for the post.

Due to the complexity of this logic, you will need to unlock your code and program the following by hand.

1. You can enclose your entry inside of an IF statement that checks if the current date == July 3, 2017/2018 like so:

private int targetYear = ??
private int targetMonth = ??
private int target day = ??

OnBarUpdate() {

if(DateTime.Now.Year == targetYear && DateTime.Now.Month == targetMonth && DateTime.Now.Day == targetDay){

        EnterLong();

...

}

2. Countif to check if the price has risen up to or greater than %15 of the current price in the last 22 bars.

Exemplar:

OnBarUpdate(){

if(CountIf(() => Close[0] >= (GetCurrentBid() + (GetCurrentBid()*0.15)), 22) >= 1){

        //In the last 22 bars, at least one of those bars was 15% greater than the current 
          price. 

}

...
