What is happening is that when I put any formula, at the start of the test back the formula result is 0, so it seems like it defaults to 1 and that is the quantity that is buying overiding cell J65. How it worked on the previous Sierra Version was: the formula result was 0 while program had no positions, as soon as the program buys according to the quantity the J26 cell value changed to whatever custom quantity. In the case of my example : =IF(ABS(J8)=($J$65*5),($J$65*3), IF(ABS(J8)=($J$65*2),($J$65*1),0)) When the buy entry condition is met, and buys the first 20 contracts, the value of J26 changed from 0 to 12, the effect on the buy exit was to sell 12 contracts.If the quantity was 8 contracts, the effect on buy exit was to sell 4 contracts. As you know this J26 cell is combined with the buyexit or sellexit. http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_SystemsAlerts.php#AutomatedTradingExample The formulas on J26 on the new version are not working because from 0 default to 1 overiding the default quantity. Any other suggestions so I can use custom exits? |
