How do you manage re-print of indicators?

Hi Everyone, I’m facing an issue for which I didn’t find a systematic solution. For example, if I want to have a signal when exp moving averages EMA8 and EMA13 cross in sync at M5 TF and M2 TF. What happens often is that the indicators send signal say after 30 sec of new bar in TF M5 and TF M2, then a few seconds later, the signal disappears from TF M5 and stays on TF M2, and therefore becomes a false signal. If you’re scalping, then you enter at second 30, then the signal is cancelled because the condition of having both is no more valid on TF M5. If I wait for UPDATEONCLOSE, then it become too late to enter a Bull or Bear Run. How do you manage that? Thank you for sharing your experience.

I cannot help you, but I moved your topic to PLATFORM SUPPORT as there it has more chances to be read by PRT’s staff.

There is no way to know where the price could be at Close of a candlestick, so you have to deal with the fact that the future is not known for anyone, sorry for that 😉

Topic moved to general trading discussions 😀
