I tried to make this help file code work on the short side, but it
never even enters into a single trade. I did set the backtest
positions to short. Could someone please just take a quick look at
this small piece of code and maybe you can see why it wont trade
short. I believe it is something simple but I can't seem to find
it.Thank you.
---------------------------
Short = Cross( MA( C, 10 ), MA( C, 5 ) );
Cover = 0 ;
priceatshort=0;
Lowsinceshort=0;
exit = 0;
for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
if( priceatshort == 0 AND Short[ i ] )
{
priceatshort = ShortPrice[ i ];
}
if( priceatshort > 0 )
{
Lowsinceshort= Min( Low[ i ], Lowsinceshort);
//PT1
if( exit == 0 AND Low[ i ] <= ( 1 - FirstProfitTarget * 0.01 )
* priceatshort)
{
exit = 1;
ShortPrice[i] = ( 1 - FirstProfitTarget * 0.01 ) *
priceatshort;
Short[ i ] = sigScaleOut;
}
