Hello, I am new to WL and am quite overwhelmed by the program. To start with I just want to write a simple code to do something like the following:
Buy the 12 month high.
Sell if stock falls more than say 10%.
Buy on the Monday at open after scanning weekly data.

Sounds quite simple, but I have absolutely no idea where to start. Also, is there a simple reference somewhere at to what each of the lines in the WL code mean? Thanks in advance, any help appreciated.

Jim

The QuickRef (hit F11) and the WealthScript Programming Guide (Help menu). "WL code" is actually C# code with WealthScript library on top of it. See also this FAQ: How do I start with C# ?

Try creating a Strategy from Rules - way easier to start with. The yearly high rule might not be available but you can emulate it using a corresponding numbers of Daily bars. See Conditions tab, "Price/Volume action", "Price makes a new high within period":



For scanning Weekly data, switch the chart to weekly and the Strategy's guts will adjust.
