Strategy Builder
Apprentice · Fri Oct 08, 2010 1:30 pm
This is a concept, the first beta version of the Strategy Builder.
Currently supports most standard indicator. Use a very primitive algorithms.
These are areas on which i should continue to work.
With it you can generate, test and trade, different strategies.
If you use Pivot indicator, use Historical mode.
Supported Indicators are “TSI”, “RSI”, “EMA” , “MVA”, “KAMA”, “PPMA”, “TMA”, “ADX”, “DMI”, “AROON”, “ARSI”, “HA”, “ICH”, “MD”, “SAR”, “CCI”, “MACD”, “RLW”, “SFK”, “ROC”, “SSD”, “STOCHASTIC”, “KRI”, “TMACD”, “ZZZCOMPOSITE”, “PERCENTAGE PRICE FOLLOWER”, “FIBOAVERAGES”, “RB_CLEAR”, “ITREND”, “AC”, “AO”, “PIVOT”,”STOCHRSI”, “HASM”, “DSS”, “SMMA”, “REGRESSION”, “TRENDSTOP”,”ST”, “HMA”, “QQE”, “LRS”,”LAGUERRE_RSI”,”LAGUERRE_FILTER”

Dear Please can you make strategy where it can take buy and sell pending order at specific breakout time example ( low and high for the period 3am and 6am i.e before London session by three hours ) or any other time and indicator which can draw box for this period the parameter
Begin Period
End Period
Box End
Number of lot
Buy and sell or buy only or sell only
Box breakout offset ( number of pips added to the high for buy position or subtracted from the low for sell position
sorry for my poor language thanks so much for your help Selim Selim [email protected]

Great idea borsaty, I trade the london breakout. If you create a automatic box, you can use a breakout indicator, I find it here viewtopic.php?f=17&t=966&hilit=breakout.

I was able to load Strategy Builder without a problem. However, when trying to replicate the Backtest function shown on fxcodebase (download/file.php?id=1912&mode=view) I ran into the problem shown in the attached screenshot. The backtest just shows a horizontal line for equity – in other words, it doesn’t work. Am I doing something wrong here?

Set Allow Strategy to Trade parametar no Yes
Re: Strategy Builder
sunshine · Fri Oct 29, 2010 7:11 am
Hello, It seems that you’ve set the parameter for the strategy, not for the indicator.
To allow a strategy to trade when backtesting, you should set the parameter “Allow trading” to “Yes” for the strategy chosen in the properties of the BACKTEST indicator. For this:
- Open the BACKTEST properties.
- Click Signal and then click the appeared button.
- The Strategy Properties dialog will appear.
- Set the parameter “Allow Trading” to “Yes”.
- Click OK.
Hope this will help.

Inverse Indicator Logic Added.
The Strategy now checks, whether selected Indicator is Supported.
If the required indicator is not supported, post a request, in order to add support for the requested indication.

Re: Strategy Builder

Inverse Trade Parameter Added. You have to distinguish between the trade Inverse Inverse and Indicator Parameter. Inverse Trade reverses the trade that would otherwise have been generated, Inverse Indicator is a parameter that is passed to the indicator.

Hi there! I use this strategy but, I have some problems. First, for some reason strategy does nt corresponds το τηε οπτιον “Allow strategy to trade” to all pairs. For example for eurusd or GER30, strategy trading well. For eurgbp only activate the “show alert” option… The other problem with this strategy is… in previous post.

Stumbled across a fix: within function “enter (BuySell)”
Amend the line: valuemap.Quantity = Amount * baseunitsize;
to: valuemap.Quantity = Amount;
Please don’t ask me for any coding requests as I’ve only been at this a couple of days without any prior programming experience.

I posted it 2 months ago. I work with Super sar and fractal indicator, and must be good to me to add them in strategy builder if you can. Also, I wonder why don’t you insert all of standards indicators so that we can make our own trade strategy without asking again and again an extra insertion. Best regards! Kisses from Greece!!!
Re: Strategy Builder
snakesandladders · Wed Feb 02, 2011 2:05 pm
I don’t know how many have noticed, but there is a flaw in the logic of how the ADX is working:
elseif instance.parameters:getString(“IN”..i) == “ADX” then
if indicator[i].DATA[p] > 25 then PLUS(i); else MINUS(i); end
The net result of this means that if all the indicators are positive for a buy signal and the ADX is over 25 then the ADX counts toward the Level target and should work fine. However, in the negitive senerio if the ADX is below 25 it counts towards a sell signal. Surely you don’t want buy or sell trades if the ADX is below 25. Is this correct or have I misunderstood?
Re: Strategy Builder

To alepan72
Sorry for waiting. I simply have no time.
But I have better news for you. The development team is working on a solution that will allow users to build their own strategies.
The solution that I offer has many limitations. Algorithms we use are very simple.

snakesandladders · Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:33 am
Apprentice wrote: Good observation. I wrote a few lines of code to fix this problem.
Strategy Builder.lua
Apprentice,
Thanks.
However, the logic now double counts (yes, I did test it: you can set the level 1 above the number of select indicators and results still show). You could use the following (which works), but it means you can’t use the ADX indictor on it’s own (not that I can see you would want to)
if TEST > 0 and indicator[i].DATA[p] > 25 then PLUS(i); elseif TEST < 0 and indicator[i].DATA[p] > 25 then MINUS(i); end
Additionally, you need to remove the addtional “;” on: MINUS(i);; (as this version won’t load) and the “ * BaseSize” on: valuemap.Quantity = Amount * BaseSize (thats the only way I could get autotrading to work).
“The development team is working on a solution that will allow users to build their own strategies.”
Sounds interesting, is there an further information available at this stage?

This is not a classic strategy. In the first place i am using it for test different combinations of indicators. When I find a promising strategy. I continue to develop it as an independent strategy.
Although there is the possibility of trading. Do not give the possibility of fine tuning. Adding advanced functionality.

Hi,thanks for developping this strategy. Now i have a problem on this,why it open orders,why it didn’t set stop/limit,it just open without set the stop or limit. I have already changing the setting to set stop/limit,anybody can help me ,thanks very much
Re: Strategy Builder
bingyunid · Fri Apr 15, 2011 2:11 am
I have solved the problem i mentioned above, it is because the account type, my demo accout cannot set, but my live accout works correctly.
BTW, if i want to add a rule to this logic, when the TMACD bar above/below 0 AND it just cross the zero line, then plus(i)/minus(i) .
The oraginal source code is: elseif instance.parameters:getString(“IN”..i) == “TMACD” then STREAMS[0]=indicator[i]:getStream(0); if STREAMS[0][p] > 0 then PLUS(i); elseif STREAMS[0][p] < 0 then MINUS(i); end
I change to elseif instance.parameters:getString(“IN”..i) == “TMACD” then STREAMS[0]=indicator[i]:getStream(0); if STREAMS[0][p] > 0 and core.crosses(STREAMS[0], 0, p) then PLUS(i); elseif STREAMS[0][p] < 0 and core.crosses(STREAMS[0], 0, p) then MINUS(i); end
it seems work ok, but when i backtest it, it give errors: index is out of range,Apprentice,could you help me ,thanks very much
Re: Strategy Builder
Apprentice · Fri Apr 15, 2011 2:20 am
core.crosses function should have two data periods that would work. Former and current period, P and P-1 This check should fix things.
if not STREAMS[0]:hasData(p) or not STREAMS[0]:hasData(p-1) then return; end
And this piece of code before the Cross Check.
Re: Strategy Builder
bingyunid · Fri Apr 15, 2011 4:25 am
Thanks very much, Apprentice . The error has been fixed after adding your code.
Could you help on another problem which trouble me very long time. In the Strategy Builder.lua, if i want to combine two indicators(Two indicators both signal sell/buy then sell/buy,). For example. rule: When TMACD > 0 ; in the meantime, the CCI >0, then buy.
That means, the two indicator both signal buy (PLUS(i)), then buy (PLUS(i)), is it possible to code it?
CCI code elseif instance.parameters:getString(“IN”..i) == “CCI” then
STREAMS[0]=indicator[i]:getStream(0);
if STREAMS[0][p] > 0 then PLUS(i); elseif STREAMS[0][p] < 0 then MINUS(i); end TMACD code elseif instance.parameters:getString(“IN”..i) == “TMACD” then
STREAMS[0]=indicator[i]:getStream(0);
if STREAMS[0][p] > 0 then PLUS(i); elseif STREAMS[0][p] < 0 then MINUS(i); end
Re: Strategy Builder
Apprentice · Fri Apr 15, 2011 7:04 am
This is no easy task.
This requires a complete change of codes.
There are Two solutions.
FIrst, Add an option, mandatory confirmation. So you can define which individual signals must be positive. To have a positive indication.
Second, change the selection algo. from individual indicators to strategy. Currenty strategy only works with the individual indicators. You should develop a different engine.

hi. i tried plugging in BTF_CCI, it says it doesn’t work on the strategy builder. why so?
Re: Strategy Builder
Apprentice · Mon Jul 04, 2011 1:39 pm
The reason is. I have to write a Signal / Trading Rules for each indicator. But for this I have no time. That’s why I managed to write them only for a few of them.
However. CCI is supported, as well as the majority of standard indicators. Simply select the time frame in which you want to trade. Unfortunately it will not help you if you want to trade on multiple time frame.

Please pardon my lack of understanding for programming. I see that the Fibo Averages Indicator relies on the Averages Indicator itself in order for production. So my request may not be even possible regarding the Fibo Averages. If so, this would be a GREAT addition to all the other averages available within parameter settings.

Re: Strategy Builder
Apprentice · Mon May 14, 2012 2:05 pm
For me is pretty simple. You can use up to three supported indicators. Define the threshold. For example, if you chose the EMA (only). And EMA indication is positive. And the threshold is 1 Depending on the EMA indication we will have Buy, Sell, Trade. If you use three indicators. And the threshold is 3 While all three indicators do not give the same indication, you will not have a trade.
Re: Strategy Builder
mybrainhertz · Mon May 14, 2012 3:52 pm
Hi Apprentice,
If you moved the Time Frame into each Indicator Parametar and then increased the number of Parametars from 3 to 5, you could almost do yourself out of a job.The only other thing that would need to be done is to increase the number of indicators that will run with this Strategy Builder and then everyone could easily build their own without the need for you to code it. I think it could vastly reduce the Development Cue.
Just a thought.

Hi Apprentice
looks like a great job Just a question if you don’t mind. I am writing a strategy in lua in which I want to use a few indicators. I got the stochastic and MacD to work but I can’t seem to get the parameters right for the SMMA. The code I’m struggeling with is below. I’m using each indicator in 3 flavors hence the 3 sources
Initialization(); gSource1 = ExtSubscribe(1, nil, “m20”, true, “bar”); gSource2 = ExtSubscribe(1, nil, “H1”, true, “bar”); gSource3 = ExtSubscribe(1, nil, “H3”, true, “bar”);
Price1 = gSource1.median;
Price2 = gSource2.median;
Price3 = gSource3.median;
assert(core.indicators:findIndicator("SSD") ~= nil, "Please, download and install SSD indicator");
assert(core.indicators:findIndicator("MYMOM_DAD") ~= nil, "Please, download and install MYMOM_DAD indicator"); (this is a somewhat altered MacD indicator)
assert(core.indicators:findIndicator("SMMA") ~= nil, "Please, download and install SMMA indicator");
local clr = core.rgb(192, 192, 131)
Stochastic1= core.indicators:create("SSD", Price1, m20, 5,2,3);
MacD1= core.indicators:create("MYMOM_DAD", Price1, "close", 5,20,30); **SMA11= core.indicators:create("SMMA", Price1, "aa", "SMMA",clr, 15 + gSource1:first() - 1);**
SMA12= core.indicators:create("SMMA", Price1, "close", 50);
SMA13= core.indicators:create("SMMA", Price1, "close", 200);
——————- end of code snippet ——————- The error in the debugger is: [string “C:\Gehtsoft\IndicoreSDK\strategies\Topdog.l…”]:717: [string “C:\Gehtsoft\IndicoreSDK\indicators\standard…”]:33: The sixth parameter must be a not negative number
15 + gSource1:first() - 1 shows in the debugger as 14 (as expected)
Line 33 in the SMMA code is : out = instance:addStream(“SMMA”, core.Line, name, “SMMA”, instance.parameters.clr, first)
not sure if this is a coincidence or not. Anyway, I can’t find the right syntax. You’ll probably know in a split second so I’d be very grateful if you could help me!
Kind regards Rino

Hello,
Can you had the HPF_STATIC Indicator to the Strategic Builder Strategy. Also, I don’t know if your team can create a new request to this strategy which can allow the start entry position (long or short) when crossing Indicator show correct pattern. For exemple : I’ve got 3 Indicators -HPF -EMA 10 -EMA 55 When HPF and EMA 10 cross EMA 55, so it an entry signal. And maybe it can be a lot more usefull if you could add it to allow entry position buy crossing not just a line but also a “corridor” like this one use in the Vegas system. I know that my request can’t maybe be possible but anyway, if it can be, that means that your creating some sort of “personnal configuration robot” Buy and take care…

Yes, sorry. When price close above the upper line of BREAKOUT INDICATOR (better if one can choose a “buffer” number of pips - for instance 2, 5, or 10 pips- out of the limits of the indicator) is a buy signal. The opposite -sell signal - when price close under the lower limit. I’d like to choose also the period of time (beginnig and end) for the strategy (local time better). I’d like to use this indicator in strategy builder to add some other signal like CCI. I hope to be clear. Don’t worry if you don’t succeed to do this. Thank you very much

Hi Apprenctice,
my aim is to create a strategy based on the RSI oscillator. It should trigger the trade (buy only) whenever it goes below the value of 40 on h1 graph and only if the following hourly candle close over the 40. The trade will stop when the RSI will reach 80, and the stop loss should be set according to the ATR . e.g 2 times ATR(21) Is it possible to set a strategy like this in your”Strategy builder”?
Thank you very much in advance.

Murugs2601 · Thu Nov 24, 2016 11:01 am
Hello Dear,
My target to achieve 20 PIPS per trade, but i want to continue to open positions until that 20 PIPS target is achieved….once achieved, all the opened positions to be CLOSED IMMEDIATELY.
-
IF Moving Average + CCI and Current Candle signals for BUY….Then, place our First Trade (BUY AT MARKET 0.1 LOT).
-
IF Target Profit 20 PIPS is not achieved and market is reversed, then place our Second Trade (SHORT AT MARKET 0.40 LOT) at the same price level of First BUY Trade.
-
IF Target Profit 20 PIPS is still not achieved and market is reversed back, then place our Third Trade (BUY AT MARKET 0.90 LOT) at the same price level of First Trade and Second Trade.
-
AND SO ON……until the target profit of 20 pips is achieve.
NOTE: First Trade 0.1 LOT ( is nothing but 1square (1x1) Second Trade 0.4 LOT ( is nothing but 2square (2x2) Third Trade 0.9 LOT ( is nothing but 3square (3x3) Fourth Trade 1.6 LOT ( is nothing but 4square (4x4) Fifth Trade 2.5 LOT ( is nothing but 5square (5x5)
NO STOP LOSS IS REQUIRED NO TRAILING STOP IS REQUIRED
NOTE:
- ALL trades to be continue to be in OPEN position until the Target Profit 20 PIPS is achieved.
- ONCE 20 PIPS target is achieved, then, ALL the opened positions to be closed immediately.
- START the strategy from STEP 1 again for fresh trades.
=============
IF Moving Average + CCI and Current Candle signals for SELL…. Then, the above strategy to be reversed.
That is
- Open First Trade as SHORT at Market (0.1 LOT)
- Second Trade as BUY at market (0.40 Lots at the same price level of First Trade)
- Third Trade SHORT at Market (0.90 Lots) etc….until the target profit 20 PIPs are achieved.
Kindly writes codes as quickly as possible and please send me your quote as well.
Re: Strategy Builder
Apprentice · Sat Nov 26, 2016 8:20 am
You’ll need to have a non FIFO account for this setup.
(BUY AT MARKET 0.1 LOT).
We can use 1 lot instead
CCI zero line cross will give entry signals/ or you will use initial price level?
IF Moving Average + CCI and Current Candle signals for BUY Then, place our First Trade
Price >MA CCI >zero line
These conditions must be met for the subsequent trade?

It also performs fine in the backtester but not in in live in demo mode.
Many Thanks in advance for a quick reply strategy is working perfectly except this one issue.

I have not been able to reproduce within the backtester.
Try to choose the right newly introduced parameter Account Type.

Thanks for getting back to me.
As I said the backtester works perfectly but when live I get the error “account is locked. Trading unavailable”. I spoke to FXCM, they setup a new demo account for me with restrictions removed and the error still occurs unfortunately. I have attached the strategy template if you run it in a demo account on the m1 chart you will see the issue quickly.
**An interesting thing happens if you run the Strategy twice in parallel, one strategy to enter the Buy only and one to enter Sell only the entry alerts that pop up have a different sequence.
When Buy > Sell:
The alerts are “Close Long, Open Short, Close Long” (The account locks and does not enter the 1st Sell trade although subsequent trades are fine)
When Sell > Buy
“Close Short, Close Short, Open Long” (Works fine account does not lock)**
From reading other topics with the same issue I understand this is not related to hedging but is related to creating entry orders at the same time. Perhaps it is the sequence of events when closing on opposite that is creating the error.

It looks like the account restrictions were not actually removed. Did you try to close trades manually on the new account?

Account restrictions are not creating the issue as the error also occurs when trading live. Have also spoken to FXCM and had this confirmed…It is strange that the error only occurs in one direction and that the entry and closing sequence I listed above is slightly different. It makes me think this is a timing issue or an issue with the order in which the strategy closes then opens position from Buy to Sell as Sell to Buy works fine.

Hello fxninja33
Are you able to reproduce the problem on a blank Demo account? If so could you please share the account details and an example of the failed code?
Re: Strategy Builder
fxninja33 · Wed Sep 27, 2017 6:32 pm
Hi Konstantin, Thanks for getting back to me. As described in my last post the error message occurs in the activity log in both demo and live accounts in the same way. The issue only occurs when the trade moves closes the sell to open the buy. I listed the order of the alerts as they occur if you need any more info let me know and I can get that straight away.

Could you please share (via PM) the demo account login and an example of the failed strategy?

Hey Apprentice
Thanks for the great work
Times to times Strategy builder makes my FXCM crashing even when I’m loading only two indicators. Precising that I use it on 10+ currencies simultaneously
Is there any way for you to fix this ? Could potentially be a memory allocation issue - it’s crashing even with my brand new laptop bought a week ago and with 16Go RAM
Thanks a lot David

I failed to reproduce. I tested within Backtester and Simulator.
Can you send Crash Report along with the settings used to my email. mario(.)jemic(@)gmail(.)com
U will find it in ..\Program Files (x86)\Candleworks\FXTS2\crash
Make sure to copy it before TS restart.
After restart, the folder will be deleted.

Hi,Apprentice, Can you look at this article? viewtopic.php?f=28&t=65097
I know the reason for the “Marketscope Bug”… example： function ExtAsyncOperationFinished(cookie,success,message) if cookie == 200 and not success then terminal:alertMessage(instance.bid:instrument(),instance.bid[NOW], “Open order failed !” .. message, instance.bid[NOW]); elseif cookie == 200 then terminal:alertMessage(instance.bid:instrument(), instance.bid[NOW], “Open order true !” .. message,instance.bid[NOW]); end end
The “ExtAsyncOperationFinished(cookie,success,message)” return the “message” is an nil. SO: function ExtAsyncOperationFinished(cookie,success,message) if cookie == 200 and not success then terminal:alertMessage(instance.bid:instrument(),instance.bid[NOW], “Open order failed !” .. message, instance.bid[NOW]);—-can run elseif cookie == 200 then terminal:alertMessage(instance.bid:instrument(), instance.bid[NOW], “Open order true !” .. message,instance.bid[NOW]);—-Will not run end end
When： function ExtAsyncOperationFinished(cookie,success,message) if cookie == 200 and not success then terminal:alertMessage(instance.bid:instrument(),instance.bid[NOW], “Open order failed !” .. message, instance.bid[NOW]);—-can run elseif cookie == 200 then terminal:alertMessage(instance.bid:instrument(), instance.bid[NOW], “Open order true !”,instance.bid[NOW]);—-can run end end
How can i return the requestId？
