smallpips (7/25/2011)
Hi folks,
I'm trying to get to grips with the ACT stuff and I was wondering. Is it possible to configure an ACT file to run at a certain time of day? Let's say I know I'm not going to be at my screen at 1am but I want a trade entered at 1:30am based on the previous six 5m candlesticks. Is it possible to configure the file so that it will only run at a pre-determined time?
thanks for any assistance.
First, I don't know of any way to start a Strategy from a dead stop, except to do it manually. If you want to do this, ask Admin to be sure.
If all you want to do is make a running Strategy react at certain times, there is scripting info located at http://help.sysfx.com/documents/traders_manual/4.3/en_US/index.html?other_functions_2.htm under the Date/Time sub-heading. Also, check out the scripts in the Code Library.
Do a search on the word "time" in the ActTrader manual located here: http://help.sysfx.com/documents/traders_manual/4.3/en_US/index.html?icts_trader_application.htm.

Try to change the limit or stop settings if you have 9999

Could somebody please look at this; I am trying to add a moving average, so that it would only open long positions above ma and short only below MA; closes should stay the same not connected to MA;
I am doing something wrong
const
StrategyName = 'Envelopes_Strategy_v.2.2';
var
History: TCandleHistory;
Account: TAccount;
Amount, Point: Double;
MaxPos : Integer;
Stop, Limit, Range, i: Integer;
Env: TIndicatorEnvelopes;//the Envelopes indicator
MA1: TIndicatorMovingAverage;
procedure OnCreate;
begin
AddCandleHistorySetting(@History, 'History', '', CI_1_Minute, 100);
History.OnNewCandleEvent := @OnNewCandle;
History.OnNewRateEvent := @OnNewRate;
AddIntegerSetting(@MaxPos, 'Max Open Trades', 1); // Change this to any number you like.
AddAccountSetting(@Account, 'Account', '');
AddFloatSetting(@Amount, 'Amount(Lots)', 1);
AddIntegerSetting(@Stop, 'Stop in pips', 20);
AddIntegerSetting(@Limit, 'Limit in pips', 60);
AddIntegerSetting(@Range, 'Trader Range', 2);
Env := TIndicatorEnvelopes.Create(History,'Envelopes indicator'); //setting for envelopes
//the envelopes parameters:
Env.Period := 14;
Env.Deviation := 0.05;
MA1 := TIndicatorMovingAverage.Create(History, 'Ma 1');
MA1.Period := 100;
end;
procedure OnNewCandle;
begin
Point := History.Instrument.PointSize;
//price crosses the top line -> sell
if (TradeList.Count < MaxPos) and (History.Last(1).Close > Env.TopGraph.Last(1)) and ((History.Instrument.Sell <= MA1.Graph.Last(0))) then
begin
if (TradeList.Count > 0) then
begin
for i:=TradeList.Count-1 downto 0 do
begin
if (TradeList.Get(i).Tag = 'BuyEnv') then
begin
CloseTrade(TradeList.Get(i), TradeList.Get(i).Amount, Range, TradeList.Get(i).Tag);
end;
end;
end;
CreateOrder(History.Instrument, Account, Amount, bsSell,
History.Instrument.Buy + Stop*Point,
History.Instrument.Buy - Limit*Point, Range, 'SellEnv');
end;
//price crosses the bottom line -> buy
if(TradeList.Count < MaxPos) and (History.Last(1).Close < Env.BottomGraph.Last(1)) and ((History.Instrument.Sell >= MA1.Graph.Last(0))) then
begin
if (TradeList.Count > 0) then
begin
for i:=TradeList.Count-1 downto 0 do
begin
if (TradeList.Get(i).Tag = 'SellEnv') then
begin
CloseTrade(TradeList.Get(i), TradeList.Get(i).Amount, Range, TradeList.Get(i).Tag);
end;
end;
end;
CreateOrder(History.Instrument, Account, Amount, bsBuy,
History.Instrument.Sell - Stop*Point,
History.Instrument.Sell + Limit*Point, Range, 'BuyEnv');
end;
end;

Dear roaddog,
You just need to add the type of MA, for example makSimple:
MA1 := TIndicatorMovingAverage.Create(History, 'Ma 1');
MA1.Period := 100;
MA1.Kind := makSimple;
The Envelopes Strategy v.3.1 (with Simple MA) is in attachment.
Best regards
