Period Extreme Strategy

[morngrym]

i keep trying to use this in back tests but i get [string "c:\program files (x86)\candleworks\fxts2\st..."]:173: index is out of range.

i have tried re downloading serveral times i have tried many values and have only 3 that worked 0, 1 and 2 in the periods and also tried in different time frames as well, any suggestions?


i got it to pass into the progam but i would put "" around my number in the periods section but does not seem to be fuctioning like it should it puts shorts and longs in but the balance falls to 0 shortly into the test

Period 1 is last candle.

What does it mean period 0?

And complete candles? Are candles ar close?

[Apprentice]

No, if you use 0, u will have last candle

Last-1 - PERIOD+1 -1, period-1

0 or Break of Prev. Bar. High/Low
Last-1 - 0+1 -1, Last-1
Last-1, Last-1

1 or Break of Prev. Two Bars extreme.
Last-1 - 1+1 -1, Last-1
Last -2 , Last-1

If you are using complete candle filter.
Strategy is not calculated for last, activ candle, in order to avoid false signals.

I have set Period 0 on Ger 30 last night on daily chart, but today it has not opened a short trade

Completed candle: no
Why?

Strategy was revised and updated.
