Trailing Stop - 3 Bar

September 11th, 2018, 12:00 PM

Hello,

Need some help with 3 Bar trailing stop.

When long i would like to trail a stop at the lowest low of the last 3 bars and i'm missing something.

This is not working... Draw.Text(this, @"Long Stop", "--", 0, (MIN(Low(3)[0])), Brushes.Lime );

Thanks in advance.

if you look at DonchianChannel code

Quoting

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
max = MAX(High, Period);
min = MIN(Low, Period);
}

so it should be
double minvalue = MIN(Low, 3)[0];
Print (" lowest in 3 bars "+ minvalue);
...

where does double min value = MIN(Low,3[0]; go?

Coding like this is basically hacking. All trial and error. Don't be afraid of compiler errors. Just place the code in diff places, hit F5, and see if it works. Rinse and repeat etc....
