Thread: Updated ST Strategy Language Help File Now Available!!

So, I need to recreate Stop\Limit on each new bar or on each new tick if IntraBar mode is enabled?

Hi Timon55,

Thank you for your post above.

You don't actually need to recreate them, just make sure the conditions are fulfilled to generate the orders.

You might want to do something like this:

Code:

if (StrategyInfo.MarketPosition!=0)
{
	limit_buy1.Generate(Bars.CloseValue + (limit_buy1_size*Point), buy_lot1);
        stop_buy1.Generate(Bars.CloseValue - (stop_buy2_size*Point), buy_lot1);

}

Let us know if it helps.

Regards,
Jimmy

Hello autoforexer,

thanks for your work on this tutorial! Lots of time and energy went into it, and it is well presented.

I find myself stuck. I got to tutorial 3, down to "behavior of core methods". I followed each step, which seemed straight forward. But when I dragged the _exercise1 stEA onto the chart, it only "half worked"... :-|

The Format Objects window popped up correctly. The strategy advisor tab was highlighted. the _exercise1 was displayed. the Status was "on"....but there was no input string displayed, and the output window was blank.

I use windows 7 64bit, using Strategy Trader version 1.0 (build 311). The stEA compiled correctly, without errors. I went over it twice and recompiled. I know that I must have missed something, but am not quite sure what... windows 7 issues? mis-type in the [Input] coding?

any input / ideas / help would be appreciated.

Regards,
spgandau

Hi spgandau,

In order have the input string displayed, you must type [Input] above the method. Are you using autoforexer's code that I posted below

Code:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using Broker.StrategyLanguage.Function.BuiltIn;
using Fx2GoCommon;
                      
namespace Broker.StrategyLanguage.Strategy
{
    public class _exercise1 : BaseStrategyAdvisor
    {
        public _exercise1(object _ctx):base(_ctx) {}

        // Variable declarations
        private int m_construct_index = 0;
        private int m_initialize_index = 10;
        private int m_execute_index = 100;
        private int m_destroy_index = 1000;

        // Input parameters

        [Input]
        public int construct_index
        {
            get { return m_construct_index; }
            set { m_construct_index = value; }
        }

        [Input]
        public int initialize_index
        {
            get { return m_initialize_index; }
            set { m_initialize_index = value; }
        }

        [Input]
        public int execute_index
        {
            get { return m_execute_index; }
            set { m_execute_index = value; }
        }

        [Input]
        public int destroy_index
        {
            get { return m_destroy_index; }
            set { m_destroy_index = value; }
        }

        protected override void Construct()
        {
          Output.Clear();            // clears the Output Window
          Output.WriteLine("Construct() says hello!");
          Output.WriteLine("The value of m_construct_index is: " + m_construct_index);
        }

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
          Output.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------");
          Output.WriteLine("Initialize() sends greetings!");
          Output.WriteLine("The value of m_initialize_index is: " + m_initialize_index);
          Output.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------");
        }

        protected override void Execute()
        {
          Output.WriteLine("Execute() likes to say hi often!");
          Output.WriteLine("The value of m_execute_index is: " + m_execute_index);
        }

        protected override void Destroy()
        {
            Output.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------");
            Output.WriteLine("Destroy() wishes you well!");
            Output.WriteLine("The value of m_destroy_index is: " + m_destroy_index);
        }
    }
}

Jimmy,

I unblocked the zipped file, then unzipped and it works fine.

Thanks again

That is great, seriously. I am so happy that you posted this. I had no idea. And now I can use the file. Cannot say thank you enough.

I am looking for the MT4 account copier with small latency. Second requirement: I do not want to keep running terminals, because I use more then 20 MT4.

Maybe it will be interesting if you manage several MT4 accounts.
