  Hi,

  I know this sounds simple but what i am trying to achieve is to get the high of the first candle that crosses a moving average while monitoring price doesn’t go below a second moving average.

  essentially i want to create a stop order at high of candle crossing moving average but cancels if price goes below second moving average.

  snippet below of what i tried. not sure im on the right path though.

  thanks for any help in advance

  if low crosses under EMA1 then entry = high signal = 1 endif if signal = 1 and close>EMA2 then BUY 1 Contracts at signal STOP endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  if low crosses under EMA1 then entry = high signal = 1 endif if signal = 1 and close>EMA2 then BUY 1 Contracts at signal STOP endif

  if signal = 1 and close>EMA2 then BUY 1 Contracts at entry STOP endif

  1 2 3

  if signal = 1 and close>EMA2 then BUY 1 Contracts at entry STOP endif

  That’s correct.

  I suggest to add these lines BEFORE your above lines:

  IF OnMarket THEN Signal = 0 ENDIF

  1 2 3

  IF OnMarket THEN    Signal = 0 ENDIF
