Daily bars , signal generating.

[Panorama]

Hello,

 

I am using Tradestation for different strategies but I do not trade automatically through Tradestation.

I am using daily bars for all my strategies so when a signal is generated I will see the entry in the charts the next morning.

I would like to see the signal generated in the evening when the daily bar closes and I do not want to wait till the next day.

I know how I can download all inputs into excel so I can figure out there is a signal but I would like to see this immediately in tradestation.

 

Anyone an idea?

 

Many thanks

Hi Panorama;

 

If you want to see a signal at close of today, then you must modify the Easylanguage code of the Strategy.

For example, in many strategies says:

 

Buy ("LE") next bar at market;

or

Sellshort ("SE") next bar at market;

 

Also,

 

Buy ("LE") next bar at open;

etc...

 

With this orders you can open a position at open of the next bar.

 

If you want to see this order on this bar, then:

 

Buy ("LE") on this bar;

or

Buy ("LE") on this bar at close;

 

Also, for Sellshort.

 

Remember to "COMPILE" again when modify any Strategy or Indicator.(Look button on toolbar above).

 

With the change of order "next bar" to "on this bar", you must make a new backtesting, because the statistics will be different.
