Curious question about indicators and profitability

There's still a small problem because now you have exchanged the parameters for the calculus of ribbon1 and ribbon2. Ribbon1 should be wired to .z and ribbon2 to .y parameters respectively (like in the first attempt). The part where ema10 crosses ...

At first glance these conditionals work; however, I think the rules as stated by op are incomplete. if( Z[i] < Y[i] && X[i] < Z[i] ) { ribbon1[i] = Y[i]; ribbon2[i] = Z[i]; } if( X[i] < Y[i] && X[i] > Z[i] ) { ribbon1[i] = 0; ribbon2[i] = 0; }

Sure: You'd have to calculate the correct value for risk in another program (or manually : D), and then pass this corrected value on to the order manager. For example, you'd know that you'd risk 1% but would tell the order manager that you are going ...
