Yes, you can see it by right-clicking on m_base_price (go to definition).

Please advise me on the scheme - I really need it!

In the example of calculating the signal from two modules to open a position taken only two signals of different strength and no third with a greater force.


On the scheme:

Last man standing

as I understand it, there is no selection of the stronger signal. There can only be a signal from one market pattern (using SignalMA.mqh as an example - pattern "0" is a service, auxiliary element).

Andy:

In what way is pattern 0 an auxiliary element?


It has the main sense:

  • for BUY: Close[1] is located above MA[1] - so if pattern #2 or pattern #3 is not triggered, this will be the signal to open BUY, because the price of Close Bar #1 has closed BEFORE the MA indicator - i.e. in our direction, in the positive direction.
  • for SELL by analogy

Andy:
Yes, but when pattern #1 is triggered it always outbids it with its signal strength (80 vs. 10) - why?

No, it does not, because pattern #1 and pattern #0 are separate by condition - they do not occur together in the SignalMA.mqh module:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| "Voting" that price will grow.                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int CSignalMA::LongCondition(void)
  {
   int result=0;
   int idx   =StartIndex();
//--- analyze positional relationship of the close price and the indicator at the first analyzed bar
   if(DiffCloseMA(idx)<0.0)
     {
      //--- the close price is below the indicator
      if(IS_PATTERN_USAGE(1) && DiffOpenMA(idx)>0.0 && DiffMA(idx)>0.0)
        {
         //--- the open price is above the indicator (i.e. there was an intersection), but the indicator is directed upwards
         result=m_pattern_1;
         //--- consider that this is an unformed "piercing" and suggest to enter the market at the current price
         m_base_price=0.0;
        }
     }
   else

There is pattern #1 and NO pattern #0.

Andy:

By the way, Vladimir, do you think it is necessary to track the slope of the moving average (rising or falling) if a candle is above the MA, for example, when creating a signal module by MA, or is it non-critical?


Who knows :) . We have to write and check ... On all symbols, on all timeframes ...

Andy:

But below, under else it is there and always goes together 0 and 1 (checked against your pattern marker file).


I don't believe it. There is no such thing in the code as a pattern #0 and a pattern #1 in one run. Show me a piece of code.

And when you try to combine LongCondition and ShortCondition in the same sentence, do you not get cognitive dissonance?

Andy:

See the three lines at the bottom of the cursor

And when you try to combineLongCondition and ShortCondition in one phrase- don't you get cognitive dissonance?


Andy:

The longcondition is a 0 pattern and the shortcondition is a 1 pattern, so what's not to understand?


That's what I want to understand. You speak first:

Yes, but when pattern 1 is triggered it always overrides it with its signal strength (80 vs 10) - why?

And then, why do you suddenly mix in two different signals: LongCondition and ShortCondition.


Please sort out what LongCondition and ShortCondition mean and why one condition can work and the other can't (won't result in opening a position).


Added: I am out of the discussion until tomorrow. I hope that instead of texting, you will still comprehend the work of the signals module.

Vladimir, where did all my posts from this thread go?

Vladimir, where have all my posts from this thread gone?

I have no idea. You've probably deleted them since they're gone.
