Re: [amibroker] Re: Set buyprice and sell price

["Louis Préfontaine" <rockprog80@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I tried this as a test but it doesn't work well:

//SetTradeDelays( 1, 1, 1, 1 );

TimeFrameSet (in5Minute);

C5=Ref (C,1);

TimeFrameRestore();

BuyPrice = TimeFrameExpand (C5,in5Minute);
Buy = C>1.45;
Sell=C>50;

All my signals are based on 15-minute bars but I do have 5-minute bars in the database.  What I am trying to do is simply set the buyprice not as the close of the 15-minute bar, but as the close of the next 5-minute bar...

Hi,

I mean, if I work with 15-minute bars, wouldn't it be simply more complicated to use 5-minute bars and then timeframeexpand every single rule but this particular buyprice?

Thanks,

Louis

Hi,

Is it possible to do the opposite?  Or, if I use 15-minute bars (but my database is in 5-minute bars) to set the buyprice at the Close of the first of the three 5-minute bars?

Thanks,

Louis

You have to set your base time period to 15 minute and use 1 hour
timeframe over it
