Help needed for simple Stochastic EA

[Pascal 0]

Hello,

I try to build a simple bot, which I found in the traders mag10/23. Profitfaktor 1,48 for the SP500 Daily Timeframe backtested from 2000 - 07.09.2023:

Long is allowed if:

1. No active trade
   AND
2. Fast-Stochastic-Line (Period 31) is above 50

and buy gets triggered, if: Fast-Stochastic-Line (Period 3) is crossing Fast-Stochastic-Line (Period 5)

The open position gets closed, if: Fast-Stochastic-Line (Period 3) is recrossing Fast-Stochastic-Line (Period 5)

Well, I'm struggling with it obviously, cause the strategy-tester shows me that positions get closed in the same bar.

What am I doing wrong?

Morpheus, thanks for your patience! I'm such a noob...but it's going to change

I'm not 100% percent sure, but try using no Candle IDs....or try 'Is Above/Below' with Candle ID 1 rather than crosses Above/Below.....

It's just a matter of trial and error....and a truckload of patience.....

I've been here a while and I'm still a noob :))

A good way to test is to run only 1 condition (per tree) at a time, and draw lines on the value, so you can visually check when something should work.

Hi guys,

I guess I found the misstake. By default the "BuyNow" has SL and TP activated. After disabling it, it looks more towards the expected direction.

I'm just wondering why the backtest stucks on the 23rd Februar 2017? The journal shows an infite loop:

2024.01.16 12:59:10.443 Core 1 2017.02.23 01:00:00 failed market sell 1 US500, close #102 buy 1 US500 2362.52 [Market closed]
2024.01.16 12:59:10.443 Core 1 2017.02.23 01:00:00 Closing position/trade error: Market is closed (10018)

Any idea how I could fix this?

Many thanks in advance for your time and brainpower!
