Bar-Stop in higher Timeframe

[euroundusd]

Hello,
I'm facing some problems when trying to implement a bar stop, which exits a trade after e.g. 2 Bar in the higher-TimeFrame (e.g. Daily).
The base TimeFrame is for example 15 minutes.
(I know, the simple suggestion is: set the Base-TF also to Daily. But this is not possible. I need this granularity for several reasons.)
The first and easiest solution therefore would be to go to higher TF (Daily) via TimeFrameSet and code the stop there via Applystop. But in my attempts, it doesn't work.
It exited every time after 2 Bars in the Base-TF but not in the higher TF ( it should have been approximately 100-140 Base-TF-Bars (15 minutes) ) , as it should do.
Maybe I must use a variable for the Applystop and then expand it, but otherwise I'm not able to expand the Applystop. I don't see an other attempt to fix this try.

Sure, I thought about another really simple solution: determine the number of bars of the higher TF (e.g. Daily) in terms of the Base TF. But as far as I know, the relation beetween for example Daily and 15 minutes is fixed and therefore leads to a false solution (if the market isn't open 24 hours).
https://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/timeframeset.html
(Align to market hours isn't an option. I want to test through different markets with the same formula.)

Ok. Now my solution attempt:

Filter = 1 ;


Buy_Cond = TimeNum() >= 160000 ;    // AND DayOfWeek() == 5 ; 
Buy = Buy_Cond ;
       
BarStop_TF_long = inDaily ;
Count_Bars_long = Param("Count Bars Stop", 2, 0, 100, 1) ;
Incr_Close_long = ParamToggle("Incr_Close?", "No|Yes", 1) ;  

Count_Bars_long = TimeFrameCompress(Count_Bars_long, BarStop_TF_long, compressOpen) ;
jjj = TimeFrameCompress( Buy, BarStop_TF_long, compressHigh );  // compressOpen

TimeFrameSet(BarStop_TF_long) ;
  Holdlength_Bars_long = BarsSince( jjj ) ;                                       
  Sell_Cond_Time_Bars = Holdlength_Bars_long == Count_Bars_long ;   // 
TimeFrameRestore() ;
Holdlength_Bars_long = TimeFrameExpand(Holdlength_Bars_long, BarStop_TF_long, expandFirst) ; 
Sell_Cond_Time_Bars = TimeFrameExpand(Sell_Cond_Time_Bars, BarStop_TF_long, expandFirst) ;  // 
jjj = TimeFrameExpand(jjj, BarStop_TF_long, expandFirst) ;   //
 
 //Sell_Cond_Time_Bars = Holdlength_Bars_long == Count_Bars_long ;  
 if(Incr_Close_long) Sell_Cond_Time_Bars = Sell_Cond_Time_Bars AND  NOT Ref(Sell_Cond_Time_Bars, 1) ;
 
 Sell = Sell_Cond_Time_Bars ;
 
Equity( 1, 0 ); // evaluate stops, all quotes
//SetOption("EveryBarNullCheck", True );	
 
 
 Short = Cover = 0 ;
 

 
AddColumn( Buy, "Buy", 1.0, TextColor = colorDefault, BkgndColor = IIf( Buy >= 1, colorGreen, colorDefault ) );
AddColumn( Buy_Cond, "Buy_Cond", 1.0) ;
AddColumn( ValueWhen( Buy, BarIndex() ), "VW - BarIndex" );

AddColumn( Sell, "Sell", 1.0, TextColor = colorDefault, BkgndColor = IIf( Sell >= 1, colorRed, colorDefault ) );
AddColumn( jjj , "jjj" );
AddColumn( Holdlength_Bars_long , "Holdlength_Bars_long" );
AddColumn( Count_Bars_long , "Count_Bars_long" );
AddColumn( Incr_Close_long , "Incr_Close_long" );
AddColumn( Sell_Cond_Time_Bars , "Sell_Cond_Time_Bars", 1.0, colorDefault, BkgndColor = IIf( Sell_Cond_Time_Bars >= 1, colorRed, colorDefault ) );

Well. This attempt works. But only, if the next Buy-Signal doesn't occur in the time window of the Bar-Stop.
Therefore " DayOfWeek() == 5 " works with a 2 daily-bar stop .
But if the Buy-Signal occurs every trading day, the stop can't work. " jjj " is overwriting itself !
I think there are 2 possible solutions:
a) fix this repeating Buy-Signals which haven't a corresponding Sell-Signal.
I've tried this. But I think I need to work with CBI for this purpose... Am I right?

b) the simpler solution would be to use Applystop.
It's doing exactly what I want: without overwriting, it waits for the Sell-Bar
I know, because of this reason it would be ways easier to use ApplyStop.
But as described above, I was struggling with ApplyStop (bars) in a higher TimeFrame.

I hope someone have a solution or can point me in the right direction.
Do I have to use the CBI?

What you are asking is possible, however, requires lot of work!

In simple words, once you are precisely sure of (stop) BarIndex of the Higher time-frame from the Lower one, then using StaticVars you can capture that stop value and use it on any chart you want, any way you want!

This might help you:

StaticVarSet/StaticVarGet Multiple Timeframe Assistance

Hi Craig, I posted previously while at work, so please ignore the Syntax (it is wrong!). The correct syntax to use a StaticVar / ValueWhen combo would be: StaticVarSet( "varname", ValueWhen( Condition, Array ), PersistOrNot ); Anyways, the algorithm that I wrote would ideally work for scenarios where one is simply trying to capture lower timeframe data and plot it onto higher timeframes. But I doubt your needs may differ. So, I have coded in a slightly different manner, however, almost simila…

[euroundusd]

Hmmm, thank you!

Well, I can't understand why it's so difficult to code a simple bar-stop in a higher timeframe. Every time the same problem. The Buy-Signal overwrites itself.
And I can't tell the program that it shouldn't do this as long as a Sell-Signal occured, because the Sell-Signal is dependent on the Buy-Signal.
As said: the Applystop-function solves this problem and keeps the first Buy-Signal.
Can someone explain me, why it isn't possible to use the nbar stop (precisely) in a higher timeframe?!
Furthermore, it's (in my opinion) strange, that no one had the same problem in the past... if I'm searching something like "ApplyStop Multitimeframe" or even "ApplyStop Timeframe", there isn't anything similar, as far as I can see.
((except this one: https://forum.amibroker.com/t/how-can-i-back-test-multiple-time-frames/3072 ))
Is this problem so stupid?

For now, it also would be ok, if no new Buy-Signal occurs until the number of bars in the higher TimeFrame is reached. But even this seems unobtainable.
(At least as far as I tried it in many, many hours yesterday and today.)

Often simple things need lot of efforts to achieve. Simple ≠ easy. Try harder, here is one more cue to help you further.

Weekly backtest start day

Sure, you can do that too, using DayOfWeek() and SparseCompress/SparseExpand. However, like Milosz pointed out, it would be otherwise viable to: [image] So, if the custom Week starts on a Thursday that ends on a Wednesday, then you could compress/expand like this: //This is a Demo Code only (not for Trading) //Inspired by Jorgen Wallgren (@bjw) "2 Timeframes Candlestick Chart" (http://www.amibroker.com/members/library/detail.php?id=1259) //Link:…

Sorry, upper code had an issue because of experimenting. That's why mode 0 and mode 2 were not working for forum posted code but they did work before. Forgot to revert back before posting...

I will delete upper post to prevent copying incorrect one.

So here is corrected post/code:

No, you do not need static variables for what you want to achieve.
You just need time frame functions and looping.

I have once posted n-bar looping stop here

I have modified that code to consider longer time frame bars below.
If assigning Interval() to tmfrm argument of the function then stop is applied to set interval's n-bars.

PlotShapes( Buy*shapeUpArrow, colorGreen, 0, L, -15 );
PlotShapes( Sell*shapeDownArrow, colorRed, 0, H, -15 );

As for the function... It has three modes (mode 0, 1, 2).

Mode 0 counts in intraday entry's LTF(longer timeframe) bar as full bar and exits at last intrabar of nth LTF bar.

Mode 1 counts "exact" LTF's n-bars (if there are no missing intrabars at last LTF bar)... so it means it exits at same intra bar timenum as it was the case at Buy entry.. e.g Buy entry 14:15 -> then n-bar exit at 14:15 n-LTF-bars after Buy.

Last but not least mode 2 exits at end of nth LTF bar and instead of mode 0 it excludes buy entry day from counter (if Buy entry is not at start bar of LTF bar).

Thank you very much!!

@euroundusd

The first and easiest solution therefore would be to go to higher TF (Daily) via TimeFrameSet and code the stop there via Applystop.

Lower timeframe bars can be compressed to form higher timeframe bars and then can be expanded back for proper array execution, however NOT vice-versa. So, to achieve the latter, you would need StaticVars (for example).

@euroundusd

And I can't tell the program that it shouldn't do this as long as a Sell-Signal occured, because the Sell-Signal is dependent on the Buy-Signal.

@euroundusd

For now, it also would be ok, if no new Buy-Signal occurs until the number of bars in the higher TimeFrame is reached. But even this seems unobtainable.

The message got clear later! Finally, a Sunday and some spare time... Below is another refined flexible approach, wherein, you can fine tune each & every aspect of your trading system separately.

A demo strategy - Buy/Sell on Base Interval
FastWMA = WMA( Price, FastPer )
SlowWMA = WMA( Price, SlowPer )

Buy = Cross( FastWMA, SlowWMA )
Stop-Loss when Long: Prior 2-bar's Low on a Higher Time-frame which is trailed unless hit or a new Short signal is triggered

Short = Cross( SlowWMA, FastWMA )
Stop-Loss when Short: Prior 2-bar's High on a Higher Time-frame which is trailed unless hit or a new Long signal is triggered

I have modified the formula slightly, which fxshrat kindly had shared.
I'm trying to get a Calendar-Day-Stop.
The rules are as follows: the amount of calendar days for the stop is e.g. 5.
If today is the fourth day but the next trading day is the seventh one (e.g. weekend), the exit should be earlier (at this fourth calendar day).

It seems that this line isn't working as expected:

		temp = ((Cum_CDdiff[ i ] < buyCalendarDay + exit_Cdays) AND (Cum_CDdiff[ i+1 ] > buyCalendarDay + exit_Cdays) )

Any hints?

I do not have desire to decipher your code and what is wrong there but here is quick addition to my original one.

@fxshrat Thank you for this smart idea! I didn't thought about it's that easy
