    hi! I bought your exits package for backtesting and it’s great! I also understand you explicitly said it’s for backtesting, but is there a way to turn these (namely the parabolic trailing stop) into a study that I could then use for a conditional order for exits? Thank you!

      Thanks for taking the time to provide you feedback. I am very happy to know you found this trading tool helpful.

      Your idea to try to use these as a conditional order is too trigger automated trades is a very logical next step.

      However at this time the conditional order tool on Thinkorswim does not support the use of recursive variables. And in plain English that means these types of tools cannot be used within the conditional order tools on Thinkorswim.

      We can certainly use this type of indicator in another trading platform. But it would have to be translated into the language used by whatever trading platform your chose. And this is among the professional services I offer.

      Hope that helps!

    Hi Pete,

    I have some questions on the trailing parabolic SAR exits. If I want to use them for standalone long entries, I think the logical strategy to use is HTb_TrailParabolicSXv1 because short exit (buy to close) is like long entry (buy to open/auto). But the input option “allow long entries” is in the HTb_TrailParabolicLXv1 strategy.

    When I put up two charts with a slightly modified parabolicSAR study and HTb_TrailParabolicLXv1 strategy side-by-side using intraday /ES (S&P500 futures) 30-day 5min bars, I noticed the dots didn’t match most of the time, and the long entries also didn’t match. This slightly modified parabolicSAR study is from the usethinkscript.com

    I have captured 2 images, modified parSAR and HTb_TrailParabolicLXv1 side-by-side, and modified parSAR and original TOS parSAR side-by-side. But I don’t know how to include them in the comment box.

      Sorry but I have to admit that despite reading your question several times I am totally lost as to exactly what you are asking. If you want to use one of my TrailParabolic chart strategies for long entries, your only option is to use the file named HTb_TrailParabolicLXv1 .

      If you are trying to get the dots to line up with other forms of Parabolic trailing stops don’t waste any more time doing that. They will never match. The modifications forcing the dots to remain on the long side of price action means the dots will never line up with other solutions.
