[User Discussion] - I need to switch between alert-based buy and sell entries as market conditions change.

The only way I can think of is by deleting one entry from the studies list and adding the other. That isn't going to work for short-period day trading. The problem is that I can't just include entry conditions like "C > EMA." My criteria are too close to "I know it when I see it." Is there any way to toggle manually between taking long or short entries? (Maybe it's worth noting that the last time I wrote even a simple filter, Windows hadn't been born.) Some variations might be possible to write with an equivalent of the "BarsSince" function in some other programs. The result would be something like "C > C[last time these conditions were true.]" Or "C > C[last time the opposite conditions were true]." Can't imagine it would be usable in an alert-based technique, even if it existed. Or that I could code it from scratch in ACSIL. Many thanks for any help. |

If you mean doing manually yes is it possible. I mean let's say you are using Trading system based on alert condition studies(std sierra study) there is a input (In1) called Enabled and you can choose yes/no. Now to avoid to open the studies and do it everytime you can customize Control Bars Buttons Control Bar and you can assign the Input 21 of the Trading Sys based on alert named ACS Control bar button enable/disable to the number of the control button i.e 1 for long enabled and 2 for short. When the long is enabled the short is disabled and viceversa. |

Fantastic! Many thanks, 657945. I'd missed that possibility. Very neat.
