NEED HELP - I WANT TO TURN A INDICATOR INTO A ROBOT
13 Jun 2013, 01:24

 

 

Hello,

Is there anyone that can help turn this Indicator Gann HiLo into a robot for Calgo: 

/algos/indicators/show/172

The method would be Buy if the GannHighLow crosses below price and Sell if the GannHighLow crosses above price.

 

Many thanks,

 

A.J

Look at SampleTrendRobot. It's doing something very similar with moving average indicator.

You can use the functions HasCrossedAbove/HasCrossedBelow to find your triggers:

Something like this in the OnTick or the OnBar:

if(Functions.HasCrossedBelow(Gann.Result, MarketSeries.Close[index], 0)
{
        Buy();
}
else if(Functions.HasCrossedAbove(Gann.Result, MarketSeries.Close[index], 0)
{
        Sell();
}

Buy() and Sell() can be copied from the SampleTrendRobot (in cAlgo list of robots)

Hello again, it has very poor results... Maybe you would like to share some more trading logic besides what you mentioned?

Hi,

The method be Buy if the price has risen above the indicator and Sell if price has fallen below the indicator.

Also if you could re-adjust indicator value of 10 to 25 or 50.

Please send the code to me I will have a look.

 

Thanks.

Hi pal, thanks for making the robot, really appreciated.

I think you should remove the robot from the site and keep it between us?

 

Thanks.

Hi also, could you remove Trailing stop losses, its not needed.

What entry are you using for this robot E.G wait for 5 pips above Gann Indicator to trigger buy/sell?

Hi, the trailing stop is actually optional. it only trails if the parameters are greater than 0. I put this in the description.

The triggers are as you said:

The method be Buy if the price has risen above the indicator and Sell if price has fallen below the indicator.

Hello,
