How to define if condition a,b,c occur at the same time,not trigger signal

[williamzz]

Dear Team,
This will be a little hard.


For example,usually I use groupA to entry long.

But if the ATRTRING AND EMA and SuperTrend falling at the same time.

In this scenario,groupA will not be triggered.

How to do this in strategy builder?

My challenge is in strategy builder I can only add one condition at a time to restrict groupA.

For example,the the group for all I can add falling ATRTRING is not true and then add falling EMA is not true,and falling SuperTrend is not true.

This means any of the 3 scenarios occurs, groupA will not be triggered,but what I really want is,only when the 3 scenarios occur at the same time,groupA not be triggered.

So what I want is not:

if (! a && ! b&& ! c)
EnterLong;

What I want is:

if (!(a&&b&&c))
EnterLong;

Really Appreciate!

Thank you!

Hello williamzz,

If a set of conditions are true you can always set a variable.

However, I'd like to assist with the condition groups.

When you mention:
"what I really want is,only when the 3 scenarios occur at the same time,groupA not be triggered"

So if the conditions for the first group are true AND

IsFalling(ATR(14)) != false and isFalling(EMA(14)) != false and SuperTrend() != false,

then trigger action?

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, it is when IsFalling(ATR(14)) != false and isFalling(EMA(14)) != false and SuperTrend() != false occur at the same time.
Not only one of them occur or two of them occur,but 3 of them occur at the same time.

Now I know how to do it by code:

public bool conditionabc = true;

if (IsFalling(ATR(14)) !=false && isFalling(EMA(14)) != false &&SuperTrend() != false
)
{
conditionabc = true;

}

if(firstgroup&&conditionabc){
EntryLong;
}

Actually,I can add conditonabc=true into firstgroup directly.

Now I don't think strategy builder has such function to deal with such a complicated logic,right?

Hello williamzz,

When you mention:
"Actually, it is when IsFalling(ATR(14)) != false and isFalling(EMA(14)) != false and SuperTrend() != false occur at the same time."

Is this when you want the action to happen or do you want the action suppressed?

What you want to happen?

Yes, the strategy builder can do OR and can do ANDS and can use variables that would be used in another condition set.

Right now lets clarify on the condition and action you want.

So if atr is falling and ema is falling and supertrend plot is true then trigger action?

It almost doesn't sound like you need groups, just a few conditions

[williamzz]

when IsFalling(ATR(14)) != false and isFalling(EMA(14)) != false and SuperTrend() != false occur at the same time,entry long will not be triggered by groupA. Otherwise in all other scenarios,entry long will be triggered normally by groupA.

Hello williamzz,

Think of it the other way. What conditions need to be true for the action to take place?

If (some unknown conditions here) AND IsFalling(ATR(14)) == false AND IsFalling(EMA(14) == false AND SuperTrend() == false, then trigger action?

[williamzz]

Thank you very much!It is a very good idea.

The reason why I did't think about this idea.Is because the structure of my strategy in strategy builder is like this:

if any:
(group1;group2;group3;groupA)

Entry Long;

This is many groups to one action. (GroupA is the group that I want to restrict.)

But now I can change the structure into:

if all/any
group1

Entry Long1;


if all/any

group2

Entry Long2;

if all/any

group3

Entry Long3


if all/any
groupA
Entry LongA

This is one group to one action.

If so I can put IsFalling(ATR(14)) == false AND IsFalling(EMA(14) == false AND SuperTrend() == false into another group named groupRestrict.And build it like this:


if all
IsFalling(ATR(14)) == false
IsFalling(EMA(14) == false
SuperTrend() == false


And then do like this:

if all
groupA;
groupRestrict;

Entry LongA


At this time groupRestrict actually means:

IsFalling(ATR(14)) == false
IsFalling(EMA(14) == false
SuperTrend() == false

occur at the same time!Right?Because I used if all notif any.

I'm very excited now.You help me a lot!


I will try this.

Really appreciate your following up and help!
