Revising Chandelier

[FPI <fpi1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings!

I know this is probably as simple as it gets, but I don't know Easy 
Language, and am trying to get the Chandelier Exit to work again.  I tried 
changing the Date format to YYYYMMDD from YYMMDD, but that didn't work.

As an aside, it's easy to vary your timeframe by changing the Fac 
length.  FWIW, I've found 4 to be long enough to keep me in but short 
enough to not give back too much (but that's simply my comfort 
level).  Those interested, once the code is corrected, might try going back 
over some trades and compare your exits with the Chandelier (could vary Fac 
lengths from 3 to 4 to 5).  I did my own and the Chandelier won, which not 
only saves me money, but time and energy too.

I'm still on TS4 (although I purchased TS2K years ago):

Here's the code:

{Chandelier Exit Disc  - TT 12/10/98}

{ This version is for discretionary trading - input starting date/time}
{Suggested settings -  ShortExit: cyan, LongExit: red, style: point, 
weight: medium}

Input:	StrtDate(0),	{Date you want  plot to start, YYMMDD format}
		StrtTime(0),	{Optional time to start if intraday data, HHMM 24 hour format}
		Pos("L"),		{Position - use "L" for Long "S" for Short (including quotes)}
		Fac(3),			{True range multiplier}
		ATRLen(10);	{Length of average}
Vars:
		MaxChand(-999999),		{Chandelier exit var}
		MinChand(999999)			{Chandelier exit var};

If Pos="L" then begin {Long Trade}
	if Time>=StrtTime and Date>=StrtDate then begin
		If (H -Fac*Average(TrueRange,ATRLen)) > MaxChand then
		MaxChand= (H -Fac*Average(TrueRange,ATRLen));
		Plot1(MaxChand,"LongExit");
	end;
end;

If Pos="S" then begin {Short Trade}
	if Time>=StrtTime and Date>=StrtDate then begin
		if (L +Fac*Average(TrueRange,ATRLen)) < MinChand then
		MinChand= (L +Fac*Average(TrueRange,ATRLen));
		Plot2(MinChand,"ShortExit");
	end;
end;

Thanks!
