  Hello All,

  I’m trying to write a programme line entry whereby I want to execute a trade if a condition has been fulfilled with the last N periods (for example; if a cross of price over 100 MA line has occurred within X number of time frames).  Anyone able to provide guidane on how this condition can be expressed?

  Thanks!

  There you go:

  x = summation[10](condition) If x Then . . Endif

  1 2 3 4 5

  x = summation[10](condition) If x Then . . Endif

  Awesome, thanks Roberto!!!

  Follow up question, do you know how I could make this work with TIMEFRAME?  say for instance, I want to check this in a 10min chart and my default where I am running the programme is 5 min (i.e. I want the programme to trade only if condition X has een validated in 10min timeframe).

  You can use it as many times as needed, provided you name variabls differently among TF’s:

  Timeframe(10 minute,UpdateOnClose) x10 = summation[10](10-minute-condition) If x10 Then . . Endif Timeframe(default) xD = summation[10](default-TF-condition) If xD Then //or If xD AND x10 Then . . Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  Timeframe(10 minute,UpdateOnClose) x10 = summation[10](10-minute-condition) If x10 Then . . Endif Timeframe(default) xD = summation[10](default-TF-condition) If xD Then                               //or If xD AND x10 Then . . Endif
