Hi,
i'l working on an only long algo and have some trouble with the identifier and subsequent FACTORS.
from the manual:
If different algorithms, parameters, or rules for long and short trades are used, the identifiers should end with ":L" or ":S" for being consistent with the trade names used in the message window and parameter files. Long trades are then automatically suppressed on ":S" algos and short trades on ":L" algos, but reverse positions are still closed depending on Hedge.
But if i name any algo with end :L and have not the same with :S i get FACTORS in the fac file like these:
US30:TLA1:L .361 2.72 80/290 102.5
but since there is no TLA1:S, i get no TLA1 FACTOR so that the script never enters a trade assuming TLA1 FACTOR = 0.
I should get FACTORS like these for trading:
US30:TLA1 .361 2.72 80/290 102.5
US30:TLA1:L .361 2.72 80/290 102.5
US30:TLA1:S .000 ---- 0/0 0.0
and i only get these if i also activate a :S algo, which takes a lot of time in a multiple algo/asset script.
-------------------------
In another intent, i just name the algo as usual, without :L, but since the script only enters long positions, the FACTORS in the fac file again look like these:
US30:TLA1:L .361 2.72 80/290 102.5
again, not entering trades since there is no TLA1 FACTOR...
-------------------------
In the script i use e.g.:
function TLA1()
{...}
...
function run()
{
...
while(algo(loop("TLA1:L", ... )))
...
if(Algo == "TLA1:L")
TLA1();
Is something wrong in my script?
Any idea how to overcome this issue?
(other than manually changing the fac file adding e.g. US30:TLA1 .361 2.72 80/290 102.5 (same as TLA1:L))
Thank you very much for your support !
