Simple Strategy Code Stub

//@version=2
strategy(title = "Simple Strategy Code Stub", default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity, default_qty_value = 10, initial_capital = 200000, overlay = false)

//Basic strategy implementation
//Use as a code stub for your strategy code.
//I wrote it because I could not find one.

//This strategy goes long on Tuesdays at 10 am and goes short at 3 pm on Thursdays
//!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
//!!!! Because US markets open at 9:30 you have to have your chart in 30 minute or less resolution for trades to fire !!!!  
//!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

//If you build a strategy that doesn't use "hour" like I have this resolution requirement won't apply.
//For giggles, compare its performance to other strategies.  Weird, huh? About 53% effective on most equities and indexes.

//This strategy does the minimum needed to get a strategy working
//and uses default position sizes and buys at market with no stops.
//Again, it is the minimal code stub needed to test an indicator/rule based strategy.
//A great code reference for building more sophisticated strategies can be
//found here =>  https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/57NvsPus-Ichimoku-Lag-Line-strategy/
//The code is written by @greatwolf and is very well structured for anyone looking to fully utilize
//strategy features for position sizing, limit orders, stops and cancellations.


//First, let's set our buySignal and sellSignal variables

buySignal = ( dayofweek == tuesday ? (hour == 10 ? true : false) : false)
sellSignal = ( dayofweek == thursday ? (hour == 15 ? true : false) : false)

//Second, plot the signals so you can see them firing
//You don't have to plot the signals, nor do it before trades. I placed
//this step here to make the process of building a signal methodical.
plot(buySignal, color = green)
plot(sellSignal, color = red)

//Third, enter the trades.
//Yes - you'd think you could just use "buySignal" instead of "buySignal == true" but you need
//a series of boolean values passed in as opposed to the boolean variable (even though that variable
//is set in series).  If none of that last bit makes sense, just take my word, force the system to evaluate
//the "== true" expression or it won't work.//
strategy.entry("simpleBuy", strategy.long, when = (buySignal == true))
strategy.entry("simpleSell", strategy.short, when = (sellSignal == true))

//Fourth, exit the trades
strategy.exit("simpleBuy", "simpleBuy", when = (sellSignal == true))
strategy.exit("simpleSell", "simpleSell", when = (buySignal == true))

//That's it.
//If your strategy isn't working and your are ready to SWEAR that you are doing everything here, just copy this code
//and paste in your changes line by line.  Why do you think I wrote it?  That's right, I was in the same spot.
