enterTrade() with TMF #485796 04/21/22 16:21 04/21/22 16:21

It compiles without any errors. Thanks! Code TRADE T; memset(&T,0,sizeof(T)); T.tEntryDate = wdate(0); T.flags = TR_OPEN\|TR_LONG; strcpy(T.Skill,Asset); // Asset T.nID = 1000000+TradeID; T.nLots = TradeLotsMultiplier; T.fStopLimit = Stop; T.fTrailLimit = Trail; T.fEntryPrice = TradeUnderlying; T.manage = (void *) assignedTMF(); enterTrade(&T); Last edited by SBGuy; 04/21/22 16:24.

Don't invoke it (omit the parentheses) so that you return the pointer to the function itself rather than the return of the function invocation (erroneously cast to a pointer). You can always test your TMFs to make sure they work, too. www.vitaltrades.com - andrew@vitaltrades.com

My test TMF is just a print statement. int assignedTMF() { printf("\n[%s] assignedTMF called!",Asset); return 0; } The STRUCT member definition in trading.h is: void *manage; // trade management function pointer

So it turns out you have to configure the TMF after you call enterTrade.

Code

int do_tmf(){
	printf("#\ndo_tmf() invoked");
	return 0;
}
function run() {
	BarPeriod = 1440;
	set(LOGFILE);
	Verbose = 7|DIAG;
	LookBack = 0;
	assetList("AssetsIB");
	asset("DIS"); // DIS.t6,  Nov 1999 thru Feb 2022
	if(Init || is(LOOKBACK)) return;
	if(Bar==20){
		printf("#\nEntering trade...");
		TRADE T; memset(&T,0,sizeof(T)); 
		T.tEntryDate = wdate(0);	
		T.flags = TR_OPEN|TR_LONG;		
		// strcpy(T.Skill,Asset); // Asset
		// T.nID = 1000000+TradeID;
		// T.nLots = TradeLots*Multiplier;
		T.nLots = 1;
		// T.fStopLimit = Stop;
		// T.fTrailLimit = Trail;
		// T.fEntryPrice = TradeUnderlying;	
		T.fEntryPrice = priceC();	
		// T.manage = (void *) do_tmf;  // this does not work.
		TRADE* p = enterTrade(&T);
		if(p){
			printf("#\nTrade entry confirmed.");
			p->manage = (void *) do_tmf; // But this does.
		}
		else{
			printf("#\nTrade entry failed.");
		}
	}
	if(Bar==30){
		printf("#\nExiting long...");
		exitLong();
	}
	if(Bar==40){
		quit("All done.");
	}
}

Manually settting T.fStopLimit = TradeUnderlying-Stop works for a single stop. But I can't seem to get a trailing stop to work. Code Stop = 0.10priceClose(0); Trail = 0.20Stop; TRADE T; memset(&T,0,sizeof(T)); T.tEntryDate = wdate(0); T.flags = TR_OPEN\|TR_LONG; strcpy(T.Skill,Asset); // Asset T.nID = 1000000+TradeID; T.nLots = Lots; T.fStopLimit = priceClose(0)-Stop; // T.fStopDiff = -1Stop; //T.fTrailDiff = -1Trail; T.fEntryPrice = priceClose(0); TRADE* p = enterTrade(&T); if (p) { p->manage = (void *) assignedTMF; }
