instrument compared to the market

Stef · Mon, 26 Sep 2016 12:32:44 +0000

Hi All, I need some help please… I’m trying to write a strategy that will open positions on stocks, only if the market as a whole (I use the SA Cash 40 instrument; top 40 South Africa stocks) is trending up (above its 200 day moving average). So, apart from my normal buy/sell conditions, I want to add a filter to only buy if SACash40(Close)>Average[200](SACash40Close). I’ve tried adding a ‘compared security’ indicator, but this cannot be accessed in ProBuilder. I know there is something called EquityFrame, but this is only available in ProScreener. Any idea how to do this? Thanks Stef
