Graded Green Ups - IR

[jimibt]

A real little niggle this one. I have a set of 3 *graded* green ups that each handle a range of greening values, i.e.

green up 1: where >10 and <20
green up 2: where >20 and <25
green up 3: where >25 to infinity and beyond!!

The issue really is that on the odd occasion, prices can move so fast that more than one green up condition can get called, leaving me with a net loss of a few pounds, rather than a decent gain. I've played around with setting the greening tracking to a signal etc, but am unable to reliably mitigate the double trigger via this route either. I even used the signal value changed condition to try and capture separate *between* times for the greening value changing (the idea being that the lower value greening would happen before the higher value etc).

Anyway, I may have to settle for a less fine grained approach, but just wondered if there was a wee trick I could employ to disallow two concurrent calls that have simply crossed over each others' threshold.

Hope I explained this clearly...

Do you mean you have tried setting the same signal name for the market with each green up rule and also have a condition for all three that the 'Signal name' is NOT set with a value?

That would be about the best way of doing it as all other conditions are going to run into the 1 sec delay issue.

A final option would be to slow your refresh rate down but depending on other components within your rule that may not be practical.

yes, this is exactly what I tried. I've taken a rather less fine grained approach since the initial message and omitted the #2 greening until I come up with a rockfast plan. At the end of the day, the extra greening was making me potentially £4-5 more on the trade versus reversing the profit down to a £2-3 loss. So I can live with missing the middle squeeze (for now).

Will revisit when time permits tho and update with my solution.
