Parabolic SAR Strategy

[TxChristopher]

I tried changing the strategy to use the tick_sar indicator instead of the standard SAR so there would not be so much laggy slop in the entries, but when I try to back test it it gives me the error "...Strategies\Custom\Experimental tick sar strategy.lua:172: The indicator with id tick_sar is not found;02/07/2014 10:23:47"

The tick_sar indicator is installed .. . . . . so what is the problem?

Try This Line

Code: Select all

Indicator[1] =    core.indicators:create("TICK_SAR", Source, Parameters["Step"],  Parameters["Max"] );

Tip. Use the Caps, when calling external Indicators.

Would it be possible to make a strategy using the Parabolic SAR and the MTF MCP Heat Map(SuperTrend) indicator?

Buy as soon as both the Parabolic SAR and the Heat Map close bullish on a candle and sell as soon as both close Bearish.

For bullish limit i would like for the trade to stop when the Parabolic SAR reverses and that same candle closes and for Bearish i would like the same.

I dont know how possible this is, but i am really interested in it. Thanx

Your request is added to the development list.

Can you add Stop as another sar. For example Main SAR is .02/.2 and stop may be .01/.1
Thanks

I just tried on a 5 minutes chart.

It does fine but there is a problem with the entry time is not accurate.
It only opens a trade when the after the double dots.

Can you modify the entry immediately, when the double dots appear
for the entry and also the closing based on the double dots.

I've attach the picture of the double dots

Thanks guys

Try first/topmost post updated strategy.
Will provide additional options.

Even now, if Live option is used,
on historical data, some delay is possible.

Alright I will try but where to add the code? at the bottom of the script?

[spanizh_fly]

but technically, if its possible,

-to open a new trade when the 2 dots appear
-close the existing trade which is open when the 2 dots are there.

Thank, that will be awesome
