This is an idea for a trading system I've had for 4 years, yet never thought to make it a mechanical system until recently. This is an idea I would like to be coded into a Strategy by using EasyLanguage with Tradestation. These are all the rules necessary for the system. I have multiple screenshots I can post that will hopefully help to make the idea a little easier to understand. I call this Follow the Gap. I'm willing to pay as we go, or at the end when all work is completed. Short-Sales 1. If the open of the current bar is less than the prior bar's close, the low of the prior bar is 3 or more ticks below the close, and the high of the current bar is less than the open of the previous bar, sell short on a break 1 tick below the low of the prior bar. Immediate stop-loss should be 1 tick above the close of the bar prior to the one that triggered the entry. **I would like if you could make 2 different files, 1 with the stop-loss being 1 tick, and 1 with the stop-loss being 2 ticks. 2. As the trade progresses, I would like the stop-loss to be moved above the high of the prior bar. After the close of the 2nd bar, move the stop-loss 1 tick above the high, and then continue to move the stop-loss to 1 tick above the high as each bar progresses until stopped out for profit or loss. Buys 1. If the open of the current bar is more than the prior bar's close, and the high of the prior bar is 3 or more ticks above the close, and the low of the current bar is more than the open of the previous bar, buy on a break 1 tick above the high of the prior bar. Immediate stop-loss should be 1 tick below the close of the bar prior to the one that triggered the entry. 2. As the trade progresses, I would like the stop-loss to be moved below the low of the prior bar. After the close of the 2nd bar, move the stop-loss 1 tick below the low, and then continue to move the stop-loss to 1 tick below the low as each bar progresses until stopped out for profit or loss. Exit Criteria 1. If the market makes a new low for the day while short, or new high for the day while long, exit the trade at the close of the bar that made a new high/low for the day. Entry Criteria 1. If a bar gaps up/down more than 2 ticks, disregard the signal. Gaps should only be traded if the gap is 1 or 2 ticks. Disregard any signal with a gap of 3 or more ticks. 2. If currently in a short-sale and another gap down forms that would trigger a 2nd short signal, disregard the short. Stick with the original trade and never double up. If currently in a long and another gap up forms that would trigger a 2nd long signal, disregard the long. Stick with the original trade and never double up. 3. If a buy signal triggered the bar before, and a sell signal occurs the very next bar, do not short, simply exit. If a sell signal triggered the bar before, and a buy signal occurs the very next bar, do not buy, simply exit. 4. This strategy is primarily to be used for trading futures contracts, however I may look into trading it with stocks and currencies. Therefore, to account for different markets, I should be able to set the distance from the open and the stop-loss by cents, points, or even thousands of cents for currencies. 5. Create everything described up to this point in 1 file, and create a 2nd file with this provision put in. "If the open and close of the trigger bar are equal, and a there's an open gap do not take the trade."

I have recently completed a tradestation's easylanguage project for a previous client. For 'pay as we go' we will decide the daily activities and the corresponding pricing. I will expect you to release the payments only after showing the output on the tradestation screen. I will require a teamviewer access for you to log in to my system, since I do not have a tradestation account.
