Probability

rhc, First rule of trading - follow the rules. If you do not have a rule in place for entering retracements of too expensive trades, then it is not part of your system at present. Maybe use this trade as inspiration to test/write the rule before the next opportunity to enter at a more favourable pri...

Multiple sub-systems

Hi Sluggo, My experience concurs with rhc. I have split my FX Futures Day Trading System into 6 sub-systems per instrument. Each sub-system trades an entry, risk stop and target at a different price to the other sub-systems. This has increased Sharp by 27% and added the benefit of keeping, what woul...

The reverse of example 2?

Could I load the daily bars from one file, creating indicators, trade set-ups etc and then load the separate intra day file for entry and exit as needed? So in the case of my reversion to mean research: Psuedo code: if c < lowest(c,10) on Daily Data then load intraday data for instrument broker.ente...

They then have BLOX...

Interesting...

Could BLOX code/structure identify the necessary symbols from daily data to trade next day (maybe at Rank Block) and then pull the 1,5,15, etc mins data (maybe at Entry Block, before trading day script) just for those instruments, for just that day and trade the entry and exit code on this finer gra...

Tradestation to BLOX conversion

Hi there SR100M, Did you manage to find/create a solution to your query. I have exactly the same requirement having written a number of systems in EasyLanguage and would love to combine them into a Suite within BLOX. It would be a great time saver to be able to import the trade data into BLOX rather...
