Tutorial 53 | Creating strategy filters

Welcome to tutorial 53 in this series of tutorials designed to help you learn TradeStation EasyLanguage. This tutorial was created using TradeStation Version 8.7 and higher versions.

In a couple of recent programs I included some ‘filter’ functionality in an attempt to make it slightly easier for users to modify programs to meet their own needs. This tutorial gives some examples of how you can create filter functionality, including:

  • A stochastic filter
  • A CCI filter
  • A filter based on taking trades on specific days of the week
  • Modifying the day of week filter so that it could be optimized
  • A filter based on linear regression slope
