Hi
I am new to LUA based strategies but can program in MT4. I tried this strategy with and without trailing stop set to yes but there was no difference in the backtest results. Does this strategy have an active trailing stop and is there a pip value that will set the trail level? I am probably missing something stupid but can't check the LUA code for myself yet it looks double dutch to me. :?

While backtesting, I usually use the default parameter.

hello Apprentice,

where do i find the Parabolic SAR strategy.lua
using:

Enter long if the price cross over the previous sar up
Enter short if the price cross under the previous sar down
closing on opposite.

the one i got here: download/file.php?id=18178
does not work correctly,´cause it enters promptly when the price cross the sar, each time.

Hello Apprentice,

thank you for your note,
but this version doesn´t act in the right way, too.

it enter in "live" mode: when the price cross the current sar or
"end of turn" mode: when the next bar beginns and takes the current rate in that case, just like all other.

instead of this, it should start when the price cross the "previous sar", only
(comp.: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=64668).

do you know a working soluion in this case?

thank you very much.
