hi James,
I do not see it missing any signals. Why not add
some lines to see what is happening like:
Plot(PhighPrice,"PHighPrice",colorDarkGrey,styleLine); Plot(PLowPrice,"PLowPrice",colorDarkBlue,styleLine);
your code seems to be working fine. I am testing
with similar systems. They do pretty good in a backtest but in the practice the
slippage will kill you. Should test these type of systems entering at the high
and selling at the low since this is close to what you will get in
reality.

Can anyone help me on this most simple code skipping buy and sell
signals?

& sell signals
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why the following code seems to
be missing buy and sell signals. If you overlay this code on a 30 minute bar
chart of ESU8 using day session only data, you will see it missed a buy signal
at 10:30 am today. Missed a sell yesterday at 11:30 am. Both of these were
signals that would have been ignored if the exrem statements were left in,
because it was already positioned in the direction of the signal. However, if
you go back to 7/22 you will se where it missed an initial buy at 1:30pm, the
bar immediately after the sell at 1:00pm. All times Central. I have found many
missed signals and cannot determine what is causing it.
Should be buying when it crosses the most recent peak high and selling
when crossing the most recent peak low. I would think this is about as simple
as it gets and I still can't make it work properly.
TIA,
James
