Hi,
In Parameters "Trade Type" there are 2 Options:
1 - Against Trend
2 - Along with Trend
This I understand as follows, and please correct me if I am wrong ...
Assuming Market is going down "Against Trend" will Sell at the High of the Previous Period
------------------------------------ "Against Trend" will Buy at the Low of the Previous Period
Assuming Market is going down "Along with Trend" will Sell at the Low of the Previous Period
------------------------------------ "Along with Trend" will Buy at the High of the Previous Period
Similarly
Assuming Market is going up, "Against Trend" will Buy at the Low of the Previous Period
------------------------------------ "Against Trend" will Sell at the High of the Previous Period
Assuming Market is going up, "Along with Trend" will Buy at the High of the Previous Period
------------------------------------ "Along with Trend" will Sell at the Low of the Previous Period
If this is what this Strategy does, it would be helpful if the user could specify the preferred direction to trade ... i.e. Long Only, Short Only as follows:
Long Only: True / False
Against Trend: Yes / No
Along with Trend: Yes /No
Short Only: True / False
Against Trend: Yes / No
Along with Trend: Yes /No
Further Option would be to Trade a Pivot Level of the Previous Period i.e.
Long Only:True / False
On Cross Over
On Touch
Pivot Level: 50% or 20% or 80% etc...
Short Only:True / False
On Cross Under
On Touch
Pivot Level: 50% or 20% or 80% etc...
Also, by default the minimum default settings for "Above Distance" and "Below Distance" should be the Spread of the Instrument it is attached too, (Not sure if the Spread can be read from the quotes table and updated into the Strategy Parameters Field so as one can view when setting up parameters) + a setting for "X" greater than Spread as a permitted tolerance...
