Please help. Conditions met on my EA but no buy signal is given

New comment
 

Hello all,

I am new to coding so please bare with me. I have my code compiled with no errors, but when I backtest it, no trades are bought or sold even though there are many instances where conditions are met during the test timframe.

// Execute trade based on crossovers and RSI conditions
    if (long_above_short && rsiValue < RSI_Oversold_Level)
    {
        // Buy signal detected
        BuySignal();
    }
    else if (short_above_long && rsiValue > RSI_Overbought_Level)
    {
        // Sell signal detected
        SellSignal();
    }
}

ANALYSIS BELOW:

  1. RSI Condition:
  • RSI value (14-period) is 20.22.
  • RSI_Oversold_Level is 30.

Since the RSI value (20.22) is less than the RSI_Oversold_Level (30), the RSI condition for a buy signal is met.

  1. EMA Conditions:
  • The short-term EMAs are: MA(3): 10.400428, MA(5): 10.401916, MA(8): 10.402976, MA(10): 10.403773, MA(12): 10.404937, MA(18): 10.410042.
  • The long-term EMAs are: MA(30): 10.407786, MA(35): 10.408374, MA(40): 10.408889, MA(45): 10.409335, MA(50): 10.409717, MA(60): 10.410042.

Since all the short-term EMAs are above the long-term EMAs, the long_above_short condition is true, and the short_above_long condition is false.

  1. Combined Conditions:
  • The long_above_short condition is true.
  • The short_above_long condition is false.
  • The RSI condition for a buy signal is met.

Based on my analysis, the market data meets the conditions for a buy signal in the code. Therefore, the code should generate a buy signal for the given market data.


Any ideas on where I go from here??

My code stops at line 106. I did test it with my paper account last night and it did open and close positions successfully, but just won't work on backtesting.
