hiring a developer

It traded parts of DEC/MARCH. So price history is gappy during that period.

modified code.

 

thanks!

does exit on close of session have much impact?

 

What I coded above is pretty rudimentary, Ideally, you should always plan on exiting on the close. There is much more versatile technique but like anything, you need to come to your conclusions first based on the evolution of your trading insights. You need to test out different parameters and market conditions and 'learn' the code first. You may find through testing its not ideal. Then you will move on to other techniques. Its very hard for anyone to teach me anything. I needed to get there myself. Its the same way with most people on this path.

 

yesterdays morning trendline setup.

 

gotcha, i'll see if i can get this loaded into NT8 through the strategy builder so i can tinker.

Thanks again

 

no problem. You need to look at every scenario. Don't 'curve fit'.. the pnl might look good but it could be from 'curve fitting'.. that's why a discretionary bias where you truly understand price action and what is going on is important.
