Is it possible to alternate buy and sell orders for each bar starting from condition 1 to condition 2? Consider the following. 07:00 : Condition 1 met - BUY 07:05 : SELL 07:10 : BUY 07:15 : SELL 07:20 : BUY 07:25 : Condition 2 met - SELL (if previous order was "SELL", then skip.)

You could use an absolute reference to $J$7 in your entry formulas.

Can you provide some example? How will SC know the prior order was a buy or a sell? More importantly, I'm having the most problem with using the two conditionals in the formula. I stated above that I want to enter a trade after the first condition and exit after the second condition. But there is a twist. Suppose I have four conditions, eg. conditions 1,2,3,4 and there's no specific order in which they appear. It's a complete random sequence (eg. 1,2,3,4...1,3,4,2...2,3,1,4...etc) So, for example, I get a sequence of 1,3,4,2, where 1 is the first condition and 2 is the second condition. So with condition 1, I would enter the trade and subsequently buy/sell/buy/sell until the condition 2 comes up. The problem is that between 1 and 2 there are 3 and 4. How can I maintain the rule of condition 1 and bypass conditions 3 and 4 until condition 2 is reached? In another word, trade from Condition 1 to Condition 2 and ignore all other conditions in between. However, after Condtion 2, then resume following all conditions. I hope that makes it clear and thanks for your help. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-01-11 03:53:25

J7 will be a positive value if the previous trade was long, and a negative value is the previous trade was short.How can I maintain the rule of condition 1 and bypass conditions 3 and 4 until condition 2 is reached?
You'll need to create a persistent TRUE in a Formula Column for each condition, then release it with another condition, then in K3/M3 find the transitions from 0 to 1 for the signals.There is no specific example of how to do this because each system is unique. But here are a few general examples: Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Persistent and Incrementing Variables |
