Hi Ara,
I cannot get this to make a trade.
Here is what I have:
Numerous variable declarations here ... then ...
TestMode = 2; //TestMode 1 writes the ATCs
// I just toggle to 1, then scan, and then toggle back to 2, and
// then backtest
if (TestMode==2)
{
Setups = Foreign("~compSetups", "Close", fixup = 1); // read ATC file to see if you should trade
}
Here, I declare Setups as a variable, conditions which are also part of the buy
statement of course ...
if (TestMode==1)
{
Setups = AddToComposite(Setups, "~compSetups", "Close", flags = atcFlagDefaults);
}
else
{
Buy = My normal rules AND TestMode == 2 AND Setups >= defined by me
on the fly;
Sell = 0;
}
I use an apply stop as an exit ...
It *does* create a ~compSetups ticker, and the values look right. But
I cannot get it to trade now.
