developing Strategy

[simonerg]

good evening, greetings, I am developing a strategy but, I have found that:

1. I can not adjust the offset parameters so that in purchases I start buying right after the close of the bar 0 + 1 tick is higher than the high of the first. and for sales by the low taking as gain the close 1 tick.

2. when I run the strategy with the analyzer gives me another result than running in playback, although the desired one really shows me the playback, with the analyzer I have to modify the code, which I recommend you do to avoid running the risk when running it to reality

Thanks in advance

Hello Simon, thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forum.

For #1 could you provide an example of this? Off the cuff, if you change a variable or any code in the OnStateChanged method, you must remove the script from the chart and re-start it for the changes to take effect. If you change any code within any other code area, reloading the NinjaScript with "F5" will suffice.

For #2 please read this post from our colleague Chelsea, it describes the differences you can see between a live test and a backtest and how to minimize the error.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Simon, thanks for your reply.

This code creates signals for me:

else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, 10);
            }
        }

...

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if(CurrentBar < 1)
                return;

            if(Close[0] > High[1])
            {
                EnterLong();
            }
        }

The offset setting will add or subtract the value entered from whatever the indicator or price series returns. So if I apply a +5 tick offset to the High[1] price, then that will always add 5 ticks to the returned value.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

regards,

the code:

protected override void OnBarUpdate ()
{


if (CurrentBar <1)
return;

// Set 1
if (
(Close[0] > High[1] + (5 * TickSize) )
)
{
Draw.ArrowUp (this, @ "FaTres1 Up Arrow_1", false, 0, 0, Brushes.CornflowerBlue);
EnterLong (Convert.ToInt32 (DefaultQuantity), "");
}

whats is the correct code for do as the second pic, "buy or sell " AFTER HIGH[1] + 1 TICK

thanks

PD: in the strategy builder i do as u tell me.
the signal it produces in my strategy analyzer:

Hello Simon, thanks for your reply.

You would need to change this (Close[0] > High[1] + (5 * TickSize) ) to this: (Close[0] > High[1] + (1 * TickSize)), so all you need to change is the tick offset to 1. You are seeing the entry on the opening of the next bar because your strategy is running OnBarClose, so the bars you would need to look at at the one directly before the entry bar and the one before that.

I look forward to assisting further.

Hi chris thanks for u reply, yes in this moment is running OnBarClose, i need to change too this property to OnEachTick?..., i think that some defaults are bad my code is that:

Description = @"Escriba la descripción de su nuevo cliente Estrategia aquí.";
Name = "FaTres1";
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
EntriesPerDirection = 1;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.AllEntries;
IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy = true;
ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds = 30;
IsFillLimitOnTouch = false;
MaximumBarsLookBack = MaximumBarsLookBack.TwoHundredFiftySix;
OrderFillResolution = OrderFillResolution.Standard;
Slippage = 0;
StartBehavior = StartBehavior.WaitUntilFlat;
TimeInForce = TimeInForce.Gtc;
TraceOrders = false;
RealtimeErrorHandling = RealtimeErrorHandling.StopCancelClose;
StopTargetHandling = StopTargetHandling.PerEntryExecution;
BarsRequiredToTrade = 20;
// Disable this property for performance gains in Strategy Analyzer optimizations
// See the Help Guide for additional information
IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration = true;
Target = 30;
Stop = 15;

Hi Chris, thanks for u reply,

1. yes, the strategy is running in OnBarClose, but i THink that would be OnEachTick, think u that i should change that or in the code some defaults value add or remove:

Description = @"Escriba la descripción de su nuevo cliente Estrategia aquí.";
Name = "FaTres1";
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
EntriesPerDirection = 1;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.AllEntries;
IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy = true;
ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds = 30;
IsFillLimitOnTouch = false;
MaximumBarsLookBack = MaximumBarsLookBack.TwoHundredFiftySix;
OrderFillResolution = OrderFillResolution.Standard;
Slippage = 1;
StartBehavior = StartBehavior.WaitUntilFlat;
TimeInForce = TimeInForce.Gtc;
TraceOrders = false;
RealtimeErrorHandling = RealtimeErrorHandling.StopCancelClose;
StopTargetHandling = StopTargetHandling.PerEntryExecution;
BarsRequiredToTrade = 20;
// Disable this property for performance gains in Strategy Analyzer optimizations
// See the Help Guide for additional information
IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration = true;
Target = 30;
Stop = 15;

hi thanks crhis thin u that i should change some properties for my strategy work awsome??... i do the change tha u tellme but doesnt work

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hello simonerg, thanks for your reply.

Yes, you would need to change your High[1] offset to 1 tick instead of 5 ticks in the builder (if you are still using the builder). This would define the condition you mentioned in your last post. If you can Export your strategy if you're still having trouble and I can take a look at it.

[simonerg]

hi Chris thnks for continous reply, ur awsome, i send u the code por inbox thanks

[simonerg]

i have a create some indicators, additionally it is if these must also be configured by default Calcule.oneachTick or .BarClose ??

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hi simonerg, thanks for your reply.

I'm not sure if I understand. If you are using these indicators in your strategy, then the indicator will use the same calculation mode of the host strategy.

Best regards.
