Here is the first prototype from Marketcalls which demonstrates multi-timeframe based trading system which compares two timeframes (5min and hourly in this case) and takes a trade decision based on both the timeframes. To demonstrate with simple example we used supertrend on 5min timeframe and Hull RSI on the hourly timeframe to filter unwanted trading signals.
Trading Logic
Go long if Hourly HRSI is trending upwards and Supertrend turns to buy mode on 5min charts
Exit long if Supertrend turns to sell mode (i.e Trailing Stop hits on closing basis) on 5min charts
Go Short if Hourly HRSI is trending downwards and Supertrend turns to short mode on 5min charts
Exit Short if Supertrend turns to sell mode (i.e Training Stop hits on closing basis) on 5min charts

Now what should I do to correctly apply these codes?

What Version you are using as SPSO is a optimizer engine plugin which released post 5.7 onwards. May be if you are using older codes you may need to
remove the optimizer blocks i.e the below lines from the code and try out.
OptimizerSetEngine(“spso”);
OptimizerSetOption(“Runs”, 1 );
OptimizerSetOption(“MaxEval”, 500 );
Hi Rajandran,

Hi Rajandran,
I am very big fan of you,to such kind give strategies and i have many time try to talk you but your team not touch you and I have also mail you.please check e-mail and answer me.
Could some one explain the values of the below 2 lines
Factor=param(“Factor”,3,1,4,1);
Pd=param(“ATR Periods”,14,1,50,1);
I understood 3 is multiplier and 14 is ATR
but what about 1,4,1 and 1,50,1
Those are values you can change the FActor and ATR from the external properties box.
Hi Rajandran,
I was wondering if you could help me with a bit of Amibroker formula please. In the following example I want to explore and find any stocks where “MyF()” condition is true if x is equal to 10,11,12,13,14,15,16 and so on. Perhaps I want to check 100 different periods.
The code works fine and if MyF(10) is true then the explorer “DayDivG” column will show “10”, if MyF(11) is true then the explorer “DayDivG” column will show “11”, and so on.
My Question is (if you have the time) is there an easier way to write the formula than having to use multiple OR expressions and IIF functions?
If you could show an example I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks for your great website and very helpful Amibroker lessons.
