multiple time frames strategy on 15 minutes TF with daily conditions

Markscragg · 2022-08-23T12:10:20+00:00

I am trying to back test a strategy on a 15 min time frame which is dependent on the previous day daily chart eg if yesterdays bar crossed over a SMA (Daily Chart), buy if 15 min bar crosses over SMA (15 Min Chart) Can anyone help me to reference the different time frames in the code? Mark Scragg

Hi @Markscragg

You can try this…
```
DefParam CumulateOrders = False

TimeFrame (Daily, UpdateOnClose)

DaySMA = Average[20](Close)

If Close[1] > DaySMA[1] then
LongYesterday = 1
Else
LongYesterday = 0
EndIf

TimeFrame(15 minutes, Default)

SMA15 = Average[20](Close)

If LongYesterday and Close Crosses Over SMA15 then
Buy 1 contract at Market
EndIf
```
