Donchian strategy repair

Postby napitt » Tue May 21, 2013 12:46 pm

Really great stuff here at FXCodeBase !
Not knowing how to code, I appreciate all the work done here.
I do have one problem however, I can't get the Donchian Channel Break Out strategy to open trades as it breaks the channel. It waits until the channel breaking candle is closed. I have allow ticks set to yes.
This is a popular strategy and my favorite way to trade, very excited to use it, but too many loses with out using ticks.
Possible to have someone look at it or tell me what I am doing wrong?
Ultimately, I would like to be able to choose how many pips after break of channel to open and close the trades. I have other ideas to add to the strategy and would be willing to donate or pay fee for them, but right now would really love to test it first being able to open and close trades by ticks.
Thanks for your time!!!

Thanks for replying Apprentice, I do have set to trade "yes".
The strategy opens and closes trades okay, just want the setting "allow ticks" to work right. choosing yes or no makes no difference. Want the trade to open as soon as channel is broken, not wait until candle closes and next candle passes it.
Thanks

made a donation to get this looked at. Any chance to have it fixed soon? Any chance of having it set up to open and close n pips after the channel breaks or just having the ticks option fixed would be great!!!!
Thanks

Unfortunately I can not help much.
I'm on vacation until the beginning of next month.

over 1100 views on this post, anyone else having the same problem, or have I just missed a setting?
I have noticed the same exact problem on other strategies and the poster has not had a resolution to it either. Automan first brought this up for the Donchian channel breakout strategy on October 2012.
Is it possible that this is a US account problem or something?
anybody know?
