Intrabar order generation is not possible in TradeStation 2001. But maybe I can build the system with intraday bars, lets say 15 min., and write an instruction that takes entry at the close of the day. I also need an daily MACD-indcator But for the moment I don't know how to do that.
Perhaps the soluton is to combine two charts. One for data 1 = 15 min and one for data 2 = daily?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
True, I totally forgot about that. Your solution with two datastreams will likely reduce the occurrence of your problem, but it will not fix it. Even if you build everything based on a minute chart and emulate the daily bars, the problem can still happen.
You might want to take a trial for Multicharts or Tradestation 9 and see how much different the performance would be. Maybe the benefits already merit switching completely for you.
Your solution would work, but calculating with 2 datastreams is tricky too. If you go this route, I recommend spending a lot of time making sure that anything you calculate from datastream2 is really what you want, and that it updates every day, not every 15 minutes.
