Frequently Asked Topics

It is inevitable that after building a system the signals or BloodHound's output, does not look correct.  That can occur because a solver or function node is not setup correctly.  This video will walk you through the steps, and teach you the process of troubleshooting a system.

It's common for trading systems to have multiple conditions/rules that need to occur in a certain order, but the number of bars between them always changes.  This shows various ways to link them together.

This demonstrates how to set up solvers (identify conditions) that must occur in a specific sequence.  e.g.  Solver “A” must identify its condition first.  Solver “B” must identify its condition second.  Solver “C” must identify its condition third.  And so on.

This demonstrates how to use the Signal Counter function node, with the If-Then node, to count the maximum number of signals you would like to occur during each trend.

Some systems generate multiple signals in the same direction per a trend movement.  If you find the first signal is often to early and gets stopped out, because the market makes a big pullback just before the big trend move occurs in the direction of the signal, this topic demonstrates how to allow the signal you want to show on the chart.

This example blocks signals when the Close price is more than 10 ticks away from an EMA 6. Also shown, is how to block signals using the High and Low prices, instead of the Close.

This discusses various ways to detect when the market is consolidating, and thus block signals during that time.

This logic works on Renko charts.  It demonstrates how to require a minimum number of pullback bars, and/or a maximum number of pullback bars before a continuation signal can occur.

This demonstrates how to use the Swing Highs & Lows indicator to detect double tops and double bottoms.

This demonstrates how to detect when an indicator, such as Momentum, CCI, or MACD, crosses the zero line by a significant amount to avoid fake-out crossovers.
