Code structure
08 Aug 2017, 23:02

Hello, Can someone help me in the structure of the following code? Currently he only buys. The strategy is applied in D1 chart where: - If the day went down, he buys - If the day went high, it sells. Briefly is to do the inverse of the previous day.
thank you so much!!

private int GetSignal()
        {
            int Result = -1;
  double Ask = Symbol.Ask;
            double Bid = Symbol.Bid;

            var Daily = MarketData.GetSeries(TimeFrame.Daily);
            var DailyOpen = Daily.OpenTime.GetIndexByTime(MarketSeries.OpenTime[0]);
            //SELL
            if (DailyOpen > Ask)
                Result = 0;
            //BUY
            else if (DailyOpen < Bid)
                Result = 1;
            return Result;
        }

        private void SendOrder()
        {
            switch (GetSignal())
            {
                case 0:
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, VolumeInUnits, label, SL, TP);
                    break;
                case 1:
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, VolumeInUnits, label, SL, TP);
                    break;
            }
        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
SendOrder();
        }

 var DailyOpen = Daily.OpenTime.GetIndexByTime(MarketSeries.OpenTime[0]);

this line used index 0 for OpenTime

index 0 means first bar in history of your TimeFrame

you need to use last index or before last -> here i use last one not current open one

var DailyOpen = Daily.OpenTime.GetIndexByTime(MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(1));

for current open bar use 0:

MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(0);

if you want to see is last bar a Green or Red bar

Close - Open = +1 or -1

var dframe=MarketData.GetSeries(TimeFrame.Daily);
if(dframe.Close.Last(1)-dframe.Open.Last(1) > 0)
{
 // last Daily Bar is Green
}else{
 // last Daily Bar is Red
}

do your tests

Thank you, thank you so much.

With the "dframe" code it was perfect. The other one could not apply because it gives errors that I cant solve (lack of experience). Once again, thank you !!
