Spend 100% of your time working with and on Trade Plans which (with the exception of Reversing signals and true position reversals) are far more versatile. Also note that your comments and requests for adding reversing signals (or reversals) to TP are not new - probably those requests have been in place for at least six years. So, it’s just not gonna happen. Reason: Orders Blocks run essentially in conjunction with the rest of the Blocks of the Strategy. That is, the other Blocks (incl System) stay “connected” during the entire trade. Trade Plans run independently of the rest of the Strategy. Once the Strat fires a Signal, it “hands off” execution to the TP, and disconnects permanently. That’s why Reversal signals (either to flip position or to end the trade) don’t work … by the time they would have fired, the System+Filter etc is no longer instantiated. The TP runs in its own little world. It’s quite possible to use TP’s to end a trade due to a “reversing signal” - but it requires custom OLang (or SDK) code to do so - basically you recreate the system+filter logic that would have gen’d the reversal exit AS a stop. This requires skill with OLang coding, unless the System is very simple - and also requires that you know all the inner details of how the System works. | |
