    I assume you would put that Data1= at the top of the formula like when I start a strategy with

     

    Value1= average (Close,50)

     

     

    I tried data1= (60min chart) but that language is wrong I think?

    Thanks, I have most of the PDFs and have been working to seach them to help me write the code.

     

    Posted Before;

     

    value1=AverageFC(c,20);

     

     

    if c[1]>value1[1] and c>value1 then sell next bar at market;

    if c[1]<value1[1] and c<value1 then buy next bar at market;

     

    In looking at this code that was posted for me before and it seems that c[1}> value1 means if the close of bar 1 > than MA 2 then sell next bar at market?

     

    Then?? would c[2]>value1 mean second bar > Value1??

     

    Then if I want the two bars c[1} & c[2] to both be positive, would I say c[1]>than value1 and c[2]> c[1] that would mean the first bar is above the MA and the second bar is more than the previous?? And use that to trigger a buy or sell?

     

    Thanks

    When I used this code

     

    value1=average(c,20);

     

    if c[1]>value1[1] and c>value1 then sell next bar at market;

    if c[1]<value1[1] and c<value1 then buy next bar at market;

     

    It bought or sold multiple times. I am trying to get one entrance and one exit.

     

     

    Here is what I think I am trying to do.

     

    When the second negative bar crosses below the MA ( or when the second bar below the 9ma is negative) Sell short.

     

    (Exit trade)

    When the second positive bar crosses above the 9ma then buy to close the trade.

     

     

    I also would not mind knowing how to just reverse direction instead of exiting the trade.

     

    Is this a bit more clear?

     

    Thanks again

    Here is a chart with an idea what I am trying to do. Hope this makes it a bit more clear.

     

    Again,

    Thank you guys for your time I really appreciate your time. I am trying to learn Easy language, but from the few sources I have it is difficult.

     

    I hope the chart shows up.

    What I am trying to write is

     

    Buy when second bar is above the nine day moving average and exit or sell when the second bar is below the 9 day moving average.

     

    I would like to get out before it crosses below the 9 but not sure how to put it in to words that translate into easy language.

     

    Thanks

    I am working on a strategy for Open E cry. I have the beginning but I am having trouble writing my next step. I want it to say

     

    "when price moves above moving average X sell second bar"

     

    If you could help that would be great or send me a PM.

     

    Thanks
