hi , senior's , have an excellent idea needed to get coded ( system is well tested and results are satisfactory ), as i not know afl coding , so seeking for a proffesional afl writer on pay basis or on help basis , whatever he mind ....

theme :
scale out : start with 4 lots , scale out 1st lot at fix % basis and trail other lots with tsl ,
similiarly scale out 2nd lot at fix % basis and trail rest of lots on tsl ,
scaleout 3rd lot at fix % basis and trail rest lot on tsl ..............
exit all when our trailing sl hits or our sl hit (full detail on response)

imp thing : buy sell short cover arrows should be proper displaying on charts , also for every scaleout there is "*" mark should be there ,
we can backtest this concept with proper detail ..........

theme :
scale in : three system to be combined in this category , which i will explain on response

I can do that for you in Ninja Trader. Data can be extracted from Amibroker and manually uploaded into Ninja. It is possible to write Scale in AFL is Amibroker, but it is impossible (or exceedingly difficult) to test it with any certainty. I've gone thru all examples present on web.

I am a big fan of Amibroker and I do wish that Amibroker remedies this. At the moment, support for scaling in and out is excellent in Ninja and you can actually use Ninja to find flaws in your strategy.

have not used ninza yet , is rt data feed in india for ninza is available ?
is it throuly not possible ? to implement scale in out in amibroker ??
some coders here contact me , they are telling that in ami it is easy to implement scaleinout theme,
ok, if i not get any solution , will revert back to u ;

dell,

gary is one arrogant $#%#% who thinks he knows Amibroker and has such a rotten attitude that its better to avoid him out than to take his help !!!

He thinks he is more skilled because he can write something in fewer lines. What the $%^@$ missed is that particular post was aimed for a newbies and it is better to give simple stuff to them. Aim of Happy Singh's thread is not to show off one's programming skills but it is to help others learn and eventually help one's own self.

Even in this instance, the #%#%@ that he is, he has failed to scroll up and read what I said and most likely will retort back with "its not my job" nonsense!!!

Again, this is a relative comparison between Amibroker and Ninja from a trader's perspective! There are numerous areas where AmiBroker is better. I have attempted scale ins in Ninja, AmiBroker and MT4.

Sir never used NT before but I believe it would be equally possible to implement it in amibroker. But flaw finding can be pain in the a**.
Writing a profitable Scale-in Strategy requires lot more planning and lot superior understanding of the market (and ticker that is being traded).

If you have scale in strategy that is earning profits in RANBAXY, you cannot just apply it to TATAPOWER hoping to get same profit. Forget TATAPOWER, it may not even work profitably on DRREDDY OR CIPLA.

In a Scale-in-out, you have more entries and/or more exits to worry about. You could say that each additional entry/exit doubles the magnitude of complexity and it is very easy for strategy designer as well as strategy developer to make many wrong assumptions. You have to correct them and often correction is one-by-one process. When you implement your strategy, you just cannot assume that you will get it right in first instance.





Ninja actually plots trades on chart (shown above) in simulated as well as in real mode and allows you to pin point exactly what happened to each leg of the scaled trade. You can control entry to be at the beginning or middle of candle and Ninja will graphically show whether or not you actually entered at beginning or middle of candle.

Replayer in AmiBroker is similar to Ninja and perhaps has more features but Ninja manages to simulate/execute your trades which AmiBroker is incapable of (to best of my knowledge). I know that AmiBroker has some kind of tie up with Interactive Broker where you can do simulation but account at Interactive Broker's requires $2000 capital and so I have not tested that approach yet.

I did build my own Trade Bridge for AmiBroker which does allow me to execute my trades in simulation for signals arising out of Ami but as of today, I am unable to push the execution data back into AmiBroker to be able to plot it on chart anywhere near what Ninja does.

In absence of simulated execution, at least I feel one is incapable of really testing one's ideas. Not being able to test implies not being able to find flaws.

Ninja as a platform is free to download and play with and support for Indian market is not that great. Therefore, I had said that we should upload data manually and use Ninja to fine tune our strategy.

Besides monetary costs, Ninja likes to store data in tick (not minutes) so it does consume lot more computing resources. Ninja is slower compared to AmiBroker but it handles lot more data and sits on top of .NET framework. Programming in Ninja is also lot different

Disclaimer: I am not being critical of AmiBroker. I immensely like that software and it has changed the way I do TA. I have developed few complicated AFLs in AmiBroker to know where its strengths are where its weaknesses are. However, I am not a know-it-all

Just one simple example to visualize scale-in/scale-out (in bar replayer also). But "it's absolutely impossible and soooooo difficult".
Thanks . so it is fully possible .ok sir .is it possible to take scalein out conditions from different timeframes ? Having some 3 concepts to get coded....ur contact info .plz?
