Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] RSI(2)

Hey Umesh,
I have tried to come up with a trading plan for a 2 day RSI, but it did not work too well, because the RSI does not give an extreme sell or buy signal often.  What I did was configure the Williams%R to a 5 day period and this shows extremes.  Here is the trading plan.  
5 day William’s R trade rules
 

? Check the weekly MACD to see if it is rising or falling. This can identify a possible trend change.
? Identify the trend based on the 20 and 50 day MA on the daily chart. In addition, the Bollinger Bands can be used to identify trend.
? Identify if the MACD histogram is rising or falling on the daily chart.
? Look for the WILLIAM’S R to become OVERSOLD (-80 to -100) on the daily chart at the close. After an oversold reading on the William’s R, look for a daily candle to show some type of reversal pattern before entering. The reversal candle could take a couple of days to appear. Enter the position at the close of the reversal day.
? After entry, hold long until William’s R reaches the overbought area (-20 to 0) at the close or if the close is going to be a close below the previous day’s close. 
? In up trends, look for price action to rise towards the upper Bollinger Band as guide for an exit.
? In down trends, look for price action to rise towards the 20 day MA as a guide for an exit.
? The stop loss needs to be placed below the low of the previous day (The low of the oversold reading of the William’s R) or the low of the reversal day, whichever is lower. If the stop is hit the trade must be exited. Being that the entries are so precise, it is important that the trade is exited on a stop because more than likely the trade can be re-entered at a better price and make the same profit projected.

Hi Lee
 
 
I think a PREV-based latch is tho only way to do this in MFL. Such a latch allows you to create exit signals based on the entry price, current price or virtually any other price. Of course the down side is that the PREV code executes at snails pace. On the plus side, it works.
 
Trade:=If(PREV<=0, (entry signal)*(entry price), If( (independent exit signal) OR C<PREV*0.95 , -PREV {or -1}, PREV));
 
The Trade variable will set to the value of the entry price if an entry signal is received and the Trade latch is reset {=0} or in the process of resetting {<0}. Once the latch is set the first If() function bypasses all entry signals and passes control to the second If() function. This second If() function acts on either of two exit conditions being met {more conditions are possible}. An independent exit signal will reset the latch by forcing the output of the latch to switch from +PREV to -PREV, and/or a CLOSE below 95% of the entry price (PREV) will also force an output of -PREV. You can add other exit conditions ad-nauseum, but remember that each PREV will slow down the code even more.
 
Keep in mind that the trade closes on the bar that Trade goes negative so the trade probably progresses until the close of the current bar. Adding
Trade:=Abs(Trade);
as the next line of code extends a positive value output from the latch by one bar.
 
Back to the first If() function. If there is no entry signal on the bar after the reset the latch will return to a zero result. However, an entry signal from this point on will set the new entry price into latch, indicating that a new trade is active.
 
Does that make sense?
 
 
Regards
 
Roy

Hi there,

Has anyone been successful and solving an indicator that determines your open price? So you can then create a stop loss or break even indicator.

Allthough you can use the 'Valuewhen' command to find the price when an open condition was triggered, there may have been several more open conditions triggered before you receive a close trigger. Hence the open price will change on you.

There has to be a simple fix!

Lee.
