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

["Louis Préfontaine" <rockprog80@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is sooo weird!

With this formula 

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

TimeFrameSet( in15Minute);

test = C>2.3;

TimeFrameRestore();

C15_1 = TimeFrameCompress( Close, in15Minute, compressOpen );


//BuyPrice = TimeFrameExpand (C5,in5Minute,expandFirst);

Buy = test;
Sell=C>50;

scanned on a stock which was over 2.30  and under 10 from September 2007 until now, there is absolutely no signal.. until 2008-02-12 at 14:45 and then there is a signal every 15-minute bar...   So weird!!

Hi,

I also tried to change the periodicity of my database to 5-minute bars (because that's what they are anyway) but to use timeframe to time each and every rule and signal to 15-minute bars.  But I tried to do this and it still doesn't work:

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

TimeFrameSet( in5Minute);

C15= C>2.45;

TimeFrameRestore();


//BuyPrice = TimeFrameExpand (C5,in5Minute,expandFirst);

Buy = C15;
Sell=C>50;

It gives no signal at all...

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
