How to exit a specific 100 bars for a trade on tradesim? try the barssince()>60 but the trades didn't exit on the period

Hi Flexi

The question that has to be asked about a timed exit is - do you want to exit after 60 bars in the trade or do you want to exit 60 bars after the most recent entry signal? The latter option could keep you in a trade for ever if entry signals were given regularly. The former option will enter a trade and then ignore all subsequent entry signals until the current trade has terminated. For this you need to use PREV-based code.(you could try using one of the Simulation functions but good luck with that - you'll need it).

Something along these lines should work. (no responsibility taken for the site corrupting my code)

{Timed Exit Signal}
D:=60; {delay period}
N:=Fml("your entry signal or formula");
X:=0; {place an independant exit signal here if there is one}
R:=If(0>=PREV, N, X OR If(BarsSince(0>=PREV)>=D,-1,1));
Exit:=0>R;
Exit;

Roy, I tried the following, but only got a "flatline".

{_Stochastic}
Period:=Input("Period:",1,250,14);
Length:=Input("Length:",1,250,3);
Smooth:=Input("Smooth:",1,250,3);

StochK:=(Sum(C-LLV(L,Period),Length)/Sum(HHV(H,Period)-LLV(L,Period),Length))*100;
FastD:=Mov(StochK,Smooth,S);
SlowD:=Mov(FastD,Smooth,S);

StochK;
FastD;




{_Test }
D:=60; {delay period}
N:=Cross(Fml("_Stochastic"),20);
X:=Cross(80,Fml("_Stochastic"));
R:=If(0>=PREV, N, X OR
If(BarsSince(0>=PREV)>=D,-1,1));
Exit:=0>R;
Exit;
