Hi,
after entering the command "SetSimStop(_StopTrailing, _Point, 7*atr(20), 1);" in my strategy over 90% of the trades were closed after 1 day.
This can't be correct for a trend following system.
Any suggestions ?
Regards
Please make sure that the positions are closed because of the trailing stop. You can remove that line or update (7*atr(20)) to a very high number to see if there is any difference.
Hi,
if the SetSimStop Line was suspended, the simulator displays 4 or 5 open positions (may be ok).
if the SetSimStop Line is active there were 200-300 positions closed afer 1 day
the code for demonstration:
SetSimStop(_StopTrailing, _Point, 7*atr(20),1);
BuyRule = (close) > (Sma(20));
buy = BuyRule;
Please double check that you do not have any other sell or stop rule.
Try with 100*7*atr(20) like suggested. Are you trading futures?
Try with a new empty trading system.
If you need more help regarding this, please send us your trading system (Help -> Trading Object Paths) by email to support.
I tried it with a new created strategy and the 100*7*atr(20), it doesn't change much.
I trade the DOW-Stocks in the period 01.01.2012-14.12.2016, no futures.
No other rules !
I send a description to the support, butI see no option to add the trading object.
