Disliked{quote} Thanks guys for sticking with me yesterday. I had 14 hours of flying and I was try to do support work during stop overs and kept on getting frustrated with internet drop outs half way through replies, so sorry if I was terse. I have checked the code and you are quite correct. It is only on Param2 which is the shift. I believe the major problem was associated with checking of open orders which I found by the input of vtt1 and hopefully it is fixed now. I will post a general update within 10 minutes.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi Dave: I have also found my problem in the indicator , apparently the iCustom function only accept No. 0-7 as the number of output buffer for return value ,and mine was 8 and so i have changed it and now it is 7 , then i have checked the return value of icustom function and it was ok. i have also changed the set file ,unfortunately the problem is still there ,the program still Buy even the slope is < 0 and sell when it is >0. thank you for your response . {file} {file}Ignored
Disliked{quote} Are you sure you have the custom indicator conditions the correct way around. For condition2 you have a buy entry < 0 and for a sell entry > 0 which is contrary to what you describe you require, because you are in fact saying buy with a slope less than 0 and sell with a slope greater than 0.Ignored
DislikedDear dave : Would you please have a look on this set too, CCI in buy and exit entry condition NO.3 , if put it to False operate ,with no problem , but when they are put to True , it does not take long position ...?! {file} {image} {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote}You have the CCI conditions the wrong way around. CCI crosses above -100 should be the Buy condition and CCI crosses below 100 should be the Sell condition.Ignored

Disliked{quote} The following is interpretation of CCI signal as i found : so if I am right for buy it should be >100 and for sell <-100. and i have not seen the amendment...: " Interpretation CCI measures the difference between a security's price change and its average price change.

Low negative readings indicate that prices are well below their average, which is a show of weakness. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) can be used as either a coincident...Ignored
Disliked{quote} But logically when there is overbought sell position should be taken and vice versa , so i changed it again and look at the result now : and the correct setting is here for those interested to use : {image} {image} {file}Ignored
Disliked{quote} You should be using "crosses above -100" instead of "less than 100" for your Buy condition and "crosses below 100" instead of "greater than 100" for a Sell condition because your settings allow for no indication of price movement. I draw your attention to the following excerpt from your quote. "Plunges below -100 reflect weak price action that can signal the start of a downtrend". Your solution sets yourself up for that scenario. I don't agree with an overuse of greater than or less than. These conditions are usually reserved for confirmation...Ignored
Disliked{quote} But , if i use CROSS ABOVE , doesn't it mean and imply the whole time that the price is above -100 and still did not reached it ?? , and not the rebound back from the values below -100 ??!! You know it totally depend that how you did implemented the concept of cross above and below logic in your code then.dose it check that it has already passed -100 and now coming above it ...? and in contrary "less than -100" , means the whole time that the condition is true , would be a good time to buy if the other conditions are satisfied ...?!Ignored
