Here is a minimal example. To learn how to trade such a system on daily data in the Strategy Monitor see the Build 99 video on our Youtube channel.

https://youtu.be/Z39A55OEudM

CODE:

using WealthLab.Backtest;
using System;
using WealthLab.Core;
using WealthLab.Data;
using WealthLab.Indicators;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace WealthScript1 
{
    public class MyStrategy : UserStrategyBase
    {
        //create indicators and other objects here, this is executed prior to the main trading loop
        public override void Initialize(BarHistory bars)
        {
         rsi4 = RSI.Series(bars.Close, 4);
         PlotIndicator(rsi4);
        }

        //execute the strategy rules here, this is executed once for each bar in the backtest history
        public override void Execute(BarHistory bars, int idx)
        {
         if (idx == bars.Count - 1)
            return;
            if (!HasOpenPosition(bars, PositionType.Long))
            {
            if (rsi4[idx + 1] < 20)
               PlaceTrade(bars, TransactionType.Buy, OrderType.MarketClose);
            }
            else
            {
            if (rsi4[idx + 1] > 70)
               PlaceTrade(bars, TransactionType.Sell, OrderType.MarketClose);
            }
        }

      //declare private variables below
      private RSI rsi4;
    }
}

The code I shared above already peeks 1 bar ahead and exits at the close.

I have run your code and I have been unable to find an instance where a trade closes on the same day that the opening trade went on. There are a lot of trades, but I have scrolled down lets say 2 or 3 pages.

Thanks. Sorry if did not ask the question correctly.

Buy or short on open. sell or cover on close.

Thanks again.

The RSI4 will never close above 70 AND below 20 on the same day, so it will never happen. If you want to learn about WL8’s support for same bar exits you can watch this video.

I’ll try and mock up your revised rules tomorrow 👍

Here's an implementation of the rules:

- Buy next bar at market open if RSI4 < 20
- Sell next bar at market close if that bar's RSI > 70 or the trade's profit is 1% or more.

Running with TQQQ here is a cluster of trades that exited on the same bar as entry.

CODE:

using WealthLab.Backtest;
using System;
using WealthLab.Core;
using WealthLab.Data;
using WealthLab.Indicators;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using ScottPlot.Plottable;

namespace WealthScript1 
{
    public class MyStrategy : UserStrategyBase
    {
        //create indicators and other objects here, this is executed prior to the main trading loop
        public override void Initialize(BarHistory bars)
        {
         rsi4 = RSI.Series(bars.Close, 4);
         PlotIndicator(rsi4);
        }

        //execute the strategy rules here, this is executed once for each bar in the backtest history
        public override void Execute(BarHistory bars, int idx)
        {
         if (idx == bars.Count - 1)
            return;
            if (!HasOpenPosition(bars, PositionType.Long))
            {
                //code your buy conditions here
            if (rsi4[idx] < 20)
            {
               entryPrice = bars.Open[idx + 1];
               PlaceTrade(bars, TransactionType.Buy, OrderType.Market);
               PlaceExits(bars, idx);
            }
            }
            else
            {
            //code your sell conditions here
            PlaceExits(bars, idx);
            }
        }

      //place exit orders, peek one bar ahead
      private void PlaceExits(BarHistory bars, int idx)
      {
         //exit at close when trade has 1% profit, even on entry bar, or RSI4 closes above 70
         double profit = (bars.Close[idx + 1] - entryPrice) * 100 / entryPrice;
         if (profit > 1 || rsi4[idx + 1] > 70)
            PlaceTrade(bars, TransactionType.Sell, OrderType.MarketClose);
      }

      //declare private variables below
      private RSI rsi4;
      private double entryPrice;
    }
}

Thanks.

I don't want a closing condition. I want the trade to CLOSE on the Close of the bar that I Opened it in. Not subject to conditions.

I think I gave you enough to go on, if you want a lot more custom coding we offer a Concierge Support service where we can code your complete strategy based on your specs.

Here’s a hint though, you just need to place your exit trade at close on the line right after your entry.

Your code does not close on the date of entry.

But that is ok to go on.

Ok...

Thanks for your effort.

For all of you that want to trade on same bar, don't put anything on the else side of the HasOpenPosition

CODE:
{
               PlaceTrade(bars, TransactionType.Short, OrderType.Market, 0, "S@O");


            }
            
            {
               PlaceTrade(bars, TransactionType.Cover, OrderType.MarketClose, 0, "Having a Glitch is your code is Cool");


            }

>> Your code does not close on the date of entry.<<

Umm, take a look at the chart image I posted and the area surrounded in red. It most certainly does exit on the date of entry 🤷🏼‍♂️
