Future highs in backtesting - page 2

New comment

Ok but Im asking how to get the ihighest which means the highest price of 40 bars in the future but I have to do something like this.

 for(int i=Future-1; i>=0;i--)
{

iB=iB-K;

H=iHigh(NULL, pTF,iHighest( NULL,pTF, MODE_HIGH, K, iB) );
L=iLow(NULL, pTF,iLowest( NULL,pTF, MODE_LOW, K, iB));

if(fhval == 0)fhval = H;
else if(H > fhval)fhval = H;

if(flval == 0)flval = L;
else if(L < flval)flval = L;

}


and its not working for me. I want to get a better solution than this. Thats what Im asking. I just want the highest value on future bars with ihighest? Is that possible and how?

      int time = Time[0]+40*Period()*60;  // 40 bars in future
      int iB=iBarShift(NULL,NULL, time);

      double fhval=High[iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,40,iB)];
      double flval=Low[iLowest(NULL,0,MODE_LOW,40,iB)];
        

Look I want something like this please?

40 bars in the future and the ihighest of that. And I just want this please..

The above I need to figure out the iBarShift and what bar it is. The above is not working.

So my question I can actually ask something different like. Can you help me correct iBarshift so that I can find the future bar number 40 bars in the future?

Can you help me with that please?

iBarShift will return -1 if there is no data available.

There is sample code on the above page which explains how to use it.

Perhaps you should have read the whole thread . . .

1. You cannot use it to predict the future.


2. The original poster hasn't bother to post any debug information.


3. A simple query to ibarshift will tell him if the response is -1. If that is the case then there is no data available, and he cannot use it in the manner he intended.

Actually you can . . . make a copy of the symbol in question to an offline chart with a modified symbol name, now iBarshift() can be used from the Strategy Tester on the modified symbol to get information on bars in the future . . . the OP's issue is that he/she doesn't want to make any effort to solve his/her issue, he/she wants a two line code solution.

I just want to get this working on something Im working on. 

datetime GetTime(int iBar){

  return( Time[0] + iBar * Period() * 60 );

}

      int iB=iBarShift(Symbol(),Period(), GetTime(Future));  //Future = 40bars

I tried this one to get future time in strategy testing but Im getting zero on iB.

Anybody got a solution with src code please? It cant be that hard can it? I looked everywhere today for simple solution.

The Strategy Tester can only see as far forward as the current tick on the symbol it has created in the .fxt file.
