How to set individual trading rules for symbols in the same backtest
The following code shows how to use separate trading rules for
several symbols included in the same backtest.
// default trading rules if the symbol is not specified below:
Buy = Cross( MA( Close, 20), MA( Close, 50) );
Sell = Cross( MA( Close, 50), MA( Close, 20) );
// individual trading rules for selected symbols
// that will overwrite the above default rules
// if particular symbol is detected
// system for MSFT
if( Name() == "MSFT" )
{
Buy = Cross( MA( Close, 50), MA( Close, 100) );
Sell = Cross( MA( Close, 100), MA( Close, 50) );
}
// system for IBM
if( Name() == "IBM" )
{
Buy = Cross( MACD(), Signal() );
Sell = Cross( Signal(), MACD() );
}
// system for NVDA
if( Name() == "NVDA" )
{
Buy = Cross( RSI(), 30);
Sell = 0;
ApplyStop( stopTypeNBar, stopModeBars, 10);
}
Note that different per-symbol stops (ApplyStop) are possible only in
regular (non-rotational) backtest.
