is there a command that will get %change of a stock> Like is the stock pos or neg as a whole.
Like listed in a watch list

Never mind, I figured it out

Question Can we get a strategy to put a label on the chart the P/L of a strategy, so we know if a stock is profitable without opening the report box?

Yes. In the dialogue for indicators and strategies go to global strategy settings, check display floatingPL study with strategies, change contract size to desired amount.

Thanks, I had the FloatingPL on my chart, just did not look at the number, just the bars.

After hours of developing different strategies. I have settled on one that now constantly makes profit, based on the stock being in the positive for the day.
In fact if the %Change is positive, the strategy makes 3 to 60% on your investment per day.
Now I just wish TOS would allow auto trading
I have tried TradeStation, at least there simulated account. Strategies say will make money, however when you go live there software does not keep up.
URL goes out, or takes forever to accept your order, therefore it always losses,

Here is the strategy. If you think of any improvements let me know

#Volumn up buycondition ~ Volumn dn Sell Strategy

#--------------------------------------------

def macheck = if check1 == check2 then 1 else 0;

def O = open;
def H = high;
def C = close;
def L = low;
def V = volume;
def MTvolumeBuying = V * (C - L) / (H - L);
def MTvolumeSelling = V * (H - C) / (H - L);

def stopcondition = rth and dopen and pclose;
def macdcondition = if macd == yes and macheck == 0 then diff > 0 else if Revmacd == yes and macheck == 0 then diff < 0 else 1;
def buycondition = MTvolumeBuying + off > MTvolumeSelling;
def sellcondition = RTH == 1 > SecondstillTime(2000) or MTvolumeSelling > MTvolumeBuying;

plot Above = stopcondition and buycondition;
plot Below = rth and sellcondition and ep == 1;

Alert (Above, "BUY", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);
Alert (Below, "SELL", Alert.BAR, Sound.Bell);

Above.SetDefaultColor(Color.UPTICK);
Above.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
Below.SetDefaultColor(Color.DOWNTICK);
Below.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);

input Show_Labels = yes;
AddLabel(Show_Labels, if macd == yes and macheck == 0 then "VOLupdn +MACD +" + off else if Revmacd == yes and macheck == 0 then "VOLupdn +RevMACD +" + off else "VOLupdn +" + off, Color.YELLOW);

Mind giving a few examples of timeframes and tickers you've seen it work on? I tried all standard TFs, played with the settings, and tried a bunch of tickers and all but one were losers.

June 1st, 2020, 11:56 AM

I do run my charts on a 2 min time factor
How ever this morning it's not show as much profit like on TSLA as other strats I have
TSLA on this is 180 Fri it was 2700
TSLA on my highest is 2542

I'm finding out NO Strategy will work always. Some days they make you good returns and others they lose big, and can change mid day.

June 2nd, 2020, 10:17 PM

OK why does this not work. I'm trying to set up the strategy to only show days I want, like just today
This is what I did

input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input showOnlyLastPeriod = yes;

#positioning
input rthopen = 0700;
input rthclose = 1556;
def RTH = if usetimefilter == yes then if (aggregationPeriod and SecondsFromTime(rthopen) >= 0) and
(aggregationPeriod and SecondsTillTime(rthclose) >= 0)
then 1
else 0 else 1;

It works for setting up the trading hours. Why will it not include the day?

July 7th, 2020, 01:03 PM

Can someone help can this be done

input StopGn = Yes;
input StopRed = Yes;
input StopDkRed = Yes;

def CDkGn = if Diff_Condition == 2 then 0 else 1;
def CRed = if Diff_Condition == 3 then 0 else 1;
def CDkRed = if Diff_Condition == 4 then 0 else 1;

def BuyCk = Condition
(if StopGn == No and StopRed == No and StopDkRed == No then buycondition7) else
(if StopGn == Yes and StopRed == No and StopDkRed == No then CDkGn and buycondition7) else
(if StopRed == No and StopRed == Yes and StopDkRed == No then CRed and buycondition7) else
(if StopDKRed == No and StopRed == No and StopDkRed == Yes then CDKRed and buycondition7) else
(if StopRed == Yes and StopRed == Yes and StopDkRed == No then CGn and CRed and buycondition7) else
(if StopRed == Yes and StopRed == No and StopDkRed == Yes then CGn and CDkRed and buycondition7) else
(if StopRed == No and StopRed == Yes and StopDkRed == Yes then CRed and CDkRed and buycondition7) else
(if StopRed == Yes and StopRed == Yes and StopDkRed == Yes then CGn and CRed and CDkRed and buycondition7) else Double.NaN;

I'm trying to crate inputs to control how the strategy runs

July 9th, 2020, 01:59 PM

I wish I could find a way to automate this, It has constantly made money
