Hi,

I would need some coding help for the next script in order to run some simply EOD analysis.
I tried to write the code, but it does nothing. The rules are:

Entry:
-if 2 day's percentage change on close price is larger then 2%
-then short at close

Exit:
-cover at close after 3 days

It should open short positions every day, when 2 day's percentage change on close price is larger
then 2%, and should cover each of them after 3 days. More positions are possible at once. See the
code I wrote below.

Another question from my side, I have read somewhere in the forum about a plan to provide with
paid coding service for WL users. What about this ? I would be interested in it because it would
facilitate our learning, and we shouldn't turn to you with every petty problems. Is it planned for WL6
as well, or only for WL7 ?

OK, I think I figured out the right solution. (See code below).
But there is one thing that I don't understand: I enter position on 'bar' and exit on 'bar+3',
then why is the 'Bars Held' 5 in the trades list ?

For WL6 nothing is planned because this product is not sold or supported anymore. No new development, fixes to extensions, strategy coding assistance from yours truly.

But WL6 customers can of course expect our ongoing help with WL6 keying, license transfer and maintenance renewal issues to ensure the product is operational.

Development only takes place around WL7, and it's been going at a pretty high pace. Thank you for the suggestion, we'll discuss a paid coding service for WL7 with the team!

While I doubt that the solution is correct, it's worth noting that the sometimes confusing bar loop concept has been eliminated from Wealth-Lab 7.

Then you say, that my solution for the code above is not correct ? (it is very suspicious for me, too, because if I enter position on 'bar' and exit three bars later, then the 'Bars Held' should be 4 and not 5 in the trades list.

What is the correct solution ?

If you buy today and sell today, that's 1 bar. Buy today, sell tomorrow, that's 2 bars. This is by design to provide more pessimistic per bar results.

Long story short, if it's not exiting on the bar you want, change the control variable (in this case, it's just a constant 3).

Thanks.

OK, then the question arises, what if when I entered the position on bar at market (open), and want to exit on the same bar at close ? If I change the control variable to 0, it still exits on the next bar. What shell I write to exit on the same bar as the entry?

If you want to exit on the same bar, you need to execute the Cover/Sell on the same bar. You can't wait for the next iteration of the loop.

OK, it's clear. Thanks.
