VTTrader: Request Indicator or Trading System for VT Trader

Quoting PipRippy
After actually taking sometime and looking over this website I stumbled accross Boris Schlossberg himself- as the editor. I am sure if you have any questions about his setups, just send him a message!

By the way, Boris Schlossberg, if you read this thread- I loved your new book. I have been making a killing with your Bollinger Band Bands. After reading your book I finally started to show a profit. I even gave your book a 5 star review at amazon.com under name Rippy.



I have centered my trading strategy around the bollinger band bands setup- so please let me know if I am breaking any copyright law by using any of it etc..

Kindest Regards,

Matthew Rippy
Rippy be my guest!

I am so glad you found this useful and I like you variation of using 2 BB as a stop. In my book I of course use a variety of stop ideas depending on whther you want to scale up or not into the trade.
Quoting PipRippy
From trading this setup- I have noticed that you can get alot of false breakouts- so some type of trading filter might be in use.
Anytime I am in a good trending trade I put on the bands for a stoploss. I used to use a Average True range trailing stoploss, say 1.5 multi or whatever, but I have found that using this as a exit works better.

Hi Bemac, is me again

i am trying to write a indictor that shows only 1 or 0 base on these criteria:

__________________________________________________________
long:= if(macd()>0 and ref(macd(),-1)<0,1,0);

signalflaglong:= continue to check if the price cross 20 simple MA,if yes =1,if no=0

sarflaglong:=continue to check if the price cross sar(0.02,0.2),if yes =1,if no=0

A:=if(long()=1,1,0);
B:=if(C>(mov(c,20,s)),1,0);
D:=if(C>sar(0.02,0.2),1,0);

check_mov:=if(signalflaglong()=1,1,0) ;

check_sar:=if(sarflaglong()=1,1,0);


buy:=if(A=1 and B=1 and D=1,1,
if(A=1 and B=0 and D=0,0,
if(A=1 and B=0 and D=1,check_mov,
if(A=1 and B=1 and D=0,check_sar,0))));
_____________________________________________________________

here is what the criteria:

A.the main thing is the cross of MACD or (long()=1),after the cross,if the price is > 20 SMA and C> sar(0.02,0.2) it will generate a buy signal.

B. If the cross of MACD or long()=1 happens, but the price is under 20SMA and it is trading below SAR(0.02,0.2), no buy.

C. If long()=1 ,and C>sar(0.02,0.2),we will continuosly check for the cross(c,mov(c,20,s)) for 10 periods, will give 1 if true and 0 if false<mov (c,20,s="" we="" continulsoy="" check="" the="" cross(close="" mov(c,20,s="" for="" 10="" periods="" it="" will="" give="" a="" 1="" and="" 0="" if="" false="">

D. If long()=1, and C>mov(c,20,s) but C< sar(0.02,0.2) , we will again comtinously check for cross(c, sar(0.02,0.2) for 10 periods, it will give a 1 if true and 0 for false.

There is something wrong for the above code, i cant get the result that i want,( in the check_mov and check_sar)

can u pls kindly help me to look in to this? thanks alot</mov>
Hi Rams,

I can see a couple of errors in your code but there could be a few more depending on what you are referencing by...

if(macd()>0 ...

If you are able to, and don't mind, would you post your indicator in .vtscr format to this thread. That way I can have a look at the whole thing to ensure continuity.
Hi bemac, i m sorry , the MACD() format is from metastock, type to fast

here is the code:

i attached the indicator along this post
________________________________________________________

long:=(vt_MACD(c,12,26,E,9,E)>0) and (ref(vt_MACD(c,12,26,E,9,E),-1)<0);

A:=if(long=1,1,0);
B:=if(C>(mov(c,20,s)),1,0);
D:=if(C>sar(0.02,0.2),1,0);



buy:=if(A=1 and B=1 and D=1,1,
if(A=1 and B=0 and D=0,0,
if(A=1 and B=0 and D=1,check_mov,
if(A=1 and B=1 and D=0,check_sar,0))));

check_mov:= barssince(long=1)<=10 and cross(c,mov(c,20,s)) ;
check_sar:=barssince(long=1)<=10 and cross(c,sar(0.02,0.2));
____________________________________________________________

it works well when the long=1 and price above mov as well as SAR,

but it wont generate "1" when long=1 but price below mov( i point it to check_mov in order to check for any cross of mov within 10 periods)

it goes the same for SAR

i m using it for 15TF 30 TF or 1 hour TF

thanks alot bemac

It is possible for other charting packages ( metatrader) to use COT data.

Can this be done -- set up -- for VT ? The link will explain it and give an example.

Hi Rams,

Try this to see if it helps you complete your code.

*Note* it is a TS Download & Import into "Trading Systems Builder".

hi Bemac,

thanks alot for the code it works

___________________________________________________________
Have some quiestion here regarding the auto trade:

1.Izzit posbile for your trading system ful ltemplate TS to make the target profit different for different lots?

for example: i trade 5 lots, I will take profit for my 1st lot if i gained 30 pips, the second lots i will take profit on 60 pips and the 3rd and fourht i will take profit once i gained 100 pips etc.

I think this is one of the method that used by vegas, if not mistaken, vegas system will take profit at 55pips, 89 pips etc...

2. When i activate the automate trade, the previous long trade is not yet close but in fact i m not holding any long position(it has been "virtually" went for long as i dint activate that auto trade that time when the open buy signal was generated, how will the auto trade react? Will the auto trade automatically reset the whole trading system start from zero?meaning it will ignore the previous long trade that havent close yet?




Once again, thanks for your willingness to help a newbie like me
Hi to all,
I'd like to build a trading program to trade the news, it should work as specified below:
It have to work on a 1 minute chart.
1) The user have to enter a trade time, the courrency pair and the spreed to enter the trade (e.g 2 pm east time; aud/usd; +/-6pips)
2) Then programm should Enter long/short if the price move up/down by the specified spreed. Reference price should be the close of the previus bar (1 minute before specified time e.g 1.59 pm close price)
3) Exit the previous position when the price retrace of 3-4 pips.
4) after three minutes it have to stop buying or selling (except of course close previus open position when price retrace 3-4 pips).

I think this strategy could work fine because after news price suddently goes up or down and the stop los is only 3-4 pips+spreed.

Thank you Alpignolo

P.s I'm sorry for my poor english.

The Short Answer is No...
Even if we were to set it up as Inputs that you could change as you added/subtracted trades, it would reflect that number throughout the history of the Chart and subsequently the Output would not be accurate.

Actually, since I do not use Auto Trade on any of my systems, I think I would prefer to defer this one to Chris.
I don't want to answer this wrongly.

Hi Lou,

I think that there would be copyright infringement related to writing this for VT.

That is, if it Could be written for VT.

How many bars are you displaying? Reducing the number will improve the situation somewhat.

Menu Sequence.
VT Navigator
Options Tab
Properties
General
General Properties
Communication Tab > Currency Price History Length (# of bars)

NOTE. Changes to these settings will not take effect until you restart VT Trader.

I'm not sure I quite understand, but if you attach a trading system to the chart and start it in auto-trade mode ... assuming you have NO open position at this time ... if the system is currently long on a "virtual" signal, it will wait until the next ENTRY signal before executing an auto-trade. It will not attempt to act on the intial "virtual" entry's following exit signal. So, if the system says you should be long when you start it, it will ignore the subsequent long exit signal and only act on the following short (or long) entry signal.

Regards,
Chris

Thanks Chris,
That's a much clearer explanation than I would have been able to provide.

Hi chris thanx for the explanation, yup u give me a clear asnwer . thank you very much !!!!!
This is the trade generated by the auto trade, what makes me afraid is the stop order is not filled,(FYI i m using trail stop with intial stop at 30 pips) ... and i get disconnected very often... so if i get disconected, will my trade expose to the risk without any stop order been place?
