Need help with Amibroker formula

[prostitutos]

Hello All,

How to get in Amibroker (15 minutes bars) HHV or LLV at needed time i.g. 10.00. Then how to use that value to open LONG or SHORT position. Next - the position closes at required TARGET PROFIT or at END of the DAY.

Many thanks
Marcin

Hi Marcin,

Try the following AFL. Set your chart to 15min timeframe if you want to see the results on 15-minute chart. This AFL works on any timeframe smaller than 1 hour.

Hi Marcin,

Try the following AFL. Set your chart to 15min timeframe if you want to see the results on 15-minute chart. This AFL works on any timeframe smaller than 1 hour.

Many thanks again.

One more favour. Why it works in one day only? How to expend it for all days?
The backtest does not work, why?

Thanks in advance.

Probably because it is a "FirstHour Breakout" .afl

This is an incomplete work. I had made this AFL for a friend of mine who is also a member here. As he had tested the system manually he just wanted an AFL which shows the required values on trading day (the current day). So, I did not make it to show the levels for all days. As it is showing the values and lines only on the last day it is not possible to back test it. Of course, you can use 'Bar Replay' and see it appearing each day. But that is a time consuming excercise.

You can change the values in the AFL I gave above. The changes required are:

FH = ValueWhen(T <= 093000, H, 1);
FL = ValueWhen(T <= 093000, L, 1);

Another way is to set the timeframe to 30 minutes and the values of first bar are the values you need. For this you do not require any AFL.
