Greetings all. I’m really confused as to what I’m doing wrong or if its a glitch. When you add ‘crosses over’ or the alternative method of using > and < in the code, the trades are not being executed in the backtest.  Part of the code is that there is an initial rise in the weekly candle (2 weeks ago) – for this I used a crossover of two ATR values. Its essentially pullback system.

Using multitimeframe – 1 week with daily as default

timeframe(1 week, updateonclose)
atr2= averagetruerange[2](close)
atr15= averagetruerange[15](close)

timeframe(default)
....

Bullish0 =atr2[2] crosses over atr15[2] and ....

however this didnt work, so I tried

timeframe(1 week, updateonclose)
atr2= averagetruerange[2](close)
atr15= averagetruerange[15](close)

timeframe(default) .... 

Bullish0 =(atr2[2]>atr15[2]) and (atr2[3]<atr15[3]) and ...

And this doesnt work either.

The trade does get executed if you take the above and remove the last bit ‘and (atr2[3]<atr15[3])’ – I have no idea why. But I need a ‘crosses over’ system rather than just being above the value

Can someone help please?
