Transferring Signals between Volume-per-bar charts

Hey Sierra. I have a signal on a 20 volume per bar chart, and I have overlaid that signal to a micro contract symbol. Since the assets have different volumes, there is no good way for me synchronize the chart signals. So, sometimes, the signal does not go off, or what SHOULD be 1 signal on the mini contract chart, ends up being multiple signals on the micro contract (because the micro contract has a bar size, of 5 volume). The issue I cannot fix, is that the singular signal in the mini contract chart, is becoming like 3 or 4 signals, back to back, in the micro chart. So, when I want to automatically enter 1 contract short, instead I'm 3 contracts short. How Should I go about trying to fix this? Would you recommend finding a programming solution in the spreadsheet? Or could I force the micro contract chart, to have the exact bar count of the Mini contract chart? |

and I have overlaid that signal to a micro contract symbol. What study are you using for this?Really, the Timeframe for bar of both charts should be the same.

I am using a Study/Price Overlay, to transfer signals created in a Spreadsheet for Trading Study. The Overlay, is transferring data from a 20 volume-per-bar chart of ES (mini), to a 5 Volume-per-bar chart of MES (micro). I have to use a volume per bar chart in the mini, in order to create signals. It seems, Unfortunately, the volume-per-bar charts, cannot transfer signals to any other chart, whether I use a time chart, or a tick chart, or another volume chart. Because the ES has different volume, than the MES, there might be a volume bar in the ES, that does not have a corresponding bar in Micro, because the micro may not have had volume transacting at the time. And, there might be several volume bars in the Micro, During which the ES might have only had 1 volume bar. So if 4 volume bars happen in the Micro during the span that 1 volume bar happens in the ES, I could have 4 trigger signals, back to back, if the single ES bar has a trigger signal. This issue would exist, even if I made both symbols 20 volume bar. The problem, is that ES has different volume than MES. Do you think the micro chart could be forced to have the same bar count as the mini? Is there something else I could do? Could a third party programmer write code for the micro symbol to force the bar count to align? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-01-13 15:29:23

You would need to setup your MES chart to take into account the fact that multiple signals could come from the ES chart. For instance, if you only want to open a single position, then you could check to see if a position is already open and then not add to it. Otherwise, you would need to come up with some logic that would work around the fact that you are getting multiple signals.

Thanks John, although i don't think this will work. I've already tried things like this. I can reduce the number of entries to only 1 contract, but that wont work for me. And I can write simple code to ignore the current signal when the previous bars were true. But the incoming data is carried over with several bars at once, so the spreadsheet can't single out the previous bar (usually). Thanks for your time John. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-01-13 19:38:29
