How to skip certain number of candles?

[rafaels919]

Hi,
How can I skip certain number of candles?

"Skip Ticks" let's you skip time under certain conditions, but it doesn't work in the strategy tester when the markets are open for some reason.

(^using the "check consecutive losses" as a condition to skip 12 hours)

As an alternative to time, I want to skip number of candles when certain conditions are met, similar to the example above.

Anyone know a solution to this?

Thanks.

@rafaels919 Hi!

Working with hours and minutes is always a pain, better avoid them altogether.

• Create a variable skipcandles that increases +1 on every new candle (no conditions for it). Initial value for the variable should be big, like 100
• When you need to "skip", just reset that variable back to 0.
• Now you can check: skipcandles must be above 12 (for example) before new actions

Hi Roar,
Why is there a "buy now" block connected? I don't think I understand that configuration.
Should I place "Condition:skip period over" block above "No Trade" block? Would be great if you could repeat that here :

@roar It doesn't run on strategy tester for some reason...

[rafaels919]

@roar Nevermind. It runs now. Thanks!

@rafaels919 Wait, I noticed a problem in my logic... If there are 3 consec losses, the variable will reset on every new tick. Let me fix that

[roar]

@rafaels919 I moved the "check consecutive losses" to a different tab, this should avoid the loop

Awesome. It wasn't trading after 3 losses, but now It works well with the "check consecutive losses" in the different tab. Appreciate it. @roar

[rafaels919]

Wait, it doesn't skip actually. Do I have to edit something in your setup for it to skip? @roar

[roar]

@rafaels919 Here's my test. Skipping 12 candles after 3 losses:

Skipping 120 candles after 3 losses:

It seems to be working, at least in some way. How many candles you wish to skip? You can just modify the number in block #5

[rafaels919]

Yeah, that's the only block that I edit.
I'm trying to skip 120 candles, but that configuration didn't work.
