This is basically like counting in binary numbers:
128/64/32/16/8/4/2/1
00000000 = 0
00000001 = 1
00000010 = 2
00000011 = 2+1 =3
00000100 = 4
00000101 = 4+1 = 5
00000110 = 4+2 = 6
00000111 = 4+2+1 = 7
00001000 = 8 and so on and so on
00001001
00001010
00001011
00001100
00001101
00001110
00001111
00010000
00010001
00010010
00010011
00010100
00010101
00010110
...
etc.
So basically if you can translate a running index from 0 to 255 into binary numbers then you done have the permutation already. But I would have to look into how to exactly do that myself.
Then you could put the decimal places together as a string of a number and as such also take it apart. Or maybe you find a more practical approach with a bool array[8].
Cpt.blue.lemon: So I want the option to turn each condition on and off using a boolean to be able to run the optimiser and establish which combination of conditions gives me the best result.
You are overthinking it; just do it.
if( (!tenkan_above_kijun || tenkanSen > kijunSen) && tenkanSen-1 < Kijunsen-1 && (!tenkan_above_senkouA || tenkanSen > senkouSpanA) && (!tenkan_above_senkouB || tenkanSen > senkouSpanB) && (!SenkouA_above_SenkouB || SenkouSpanA26 > SenkouSpanB26) && (!Chikou_above_SenkouA26 || ChikouSpan26 > senkouSpanA26) && (!Chikou_above_SenkouB26 || ChikouSpan26 > senkouSpanB26) && (!CloseP_above_senkouA || ClosePrice > senkouSpanA) && (!CloseP_above_senkouB || ClosePrice > senkouSpanB) ) {//Place Buy position }
Hi all,
Only just finding the time to get back round to this. I'll give your comments a try.
Thanks,

X-1 < Y-1 is the same as X < Y if(tenkanSen > kijunSen && tenkanSen-1 < Kijunsen-1
That condition will never be true. if(tenkanSen > kijunSen && tenkanSen < Kijunsen
Perhaps you meant the previous value, not one less.
- Do you really have two variables ("kijuSen" and "Kijunsen") or did you just post code that does not even compile?

Hi all,
I have written an ichimoku trading expert to place buy and sell trades when certain criteria are met.
After deriving all of the individual variables using copy buffers, I use the following code to trigger the buy signal:
I now want to backtest and optimise the strategy. So I want the option to turn each condition on and off using a boolean to be able to run the optimiser and establish which combination of conditions gives me the best result.
I have set up the booleans as below:
Each boolean can either be true or false and there are 8 conditions that this can apply to.
This means that there are 256 different combinations to test. Except coding all of the 256 conditions individually I don't know how to automate this process.
I have found this thread on mql5: //https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/146999 but don't understand how to apply it to my situation.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Blue
