Welcome to Markplex tutorial 41 in this collection of tutorials designed to help you learn TradeStation EasyLanguage programming skills. EasyLanguage is a programming language that was developed for the TradeStation trading platform that can be used to write programs to help in the technical analysis and trading of foreign exchange, commodities (e.g. the S&P e-mini), options and stocks. Please join our email mailing list if you have not already done so and we will let you know when we release new tutorials or programs.
This is a beginner level video tutorial designed to demonstrate when you might decide to set a condition outside of an If…then construct and when you would want to set a condition within an If..Then construct.
If you want to try the program yourself the code is as follows:
Var: HiYestC1( FALSE ),
HiYestC2( FALSE );
// New day – rest HiYestC2 to FALSE
If D <> D[1] then HiYestC2 = FALSE;
HiYestC1 = H > CloseD(1) and L < CloseD(1);
If HiYestC1 then Plot1( L-0.0001, “Condition”, Yellow);
If H > CloseD(1) and L < CloseD(1) then HiYestC2 = TRUE;
If HiYestC2 = TRUE then Plot2( L-0.0003, “IFThen”, Red);
This is a beginner level tutorial that uses a simple show-me to demonstrate the programming techniques.
