Your code seems right to me: each time the fast DEMA crosses over the slow DEMA, the system buy 5 contracts.

Just update your code with my last example about the bollinger bands and you’re ok.

sorry don’t understand what you mean …just to make sure… I do not like to have just one execution on the day… so always if the lines cross over the system should buy ……

If you mean change your actual strategy of this post, with EMA instead, why do not make it yourself?

Hi Dreif

Strangely, although EMA is not available to add to a Chart; EMA is available using Fx when coding an Algo … see attachment

@GraHam

Just add a “Moving Average” from the indicator selection window and then change its calculation mode from there (5 or 6 possible options: from SMA to Hull MA, etc..)

@dreif123

If you need to code a strategy with EMA, this link will lead you to an exponential moving average instruction example.

Haha @Nicolas … I have selected EMA (as you say) several times, but forgot … I need to slow my brain when helping others, but thanks for the reminder 🙂

Hi

I just wanted to say thanks. The ‘do only one trade a day’ has been something I’ve really struggled to code for ages and your suggestion (using lasttradedate and opendate) worked perfectly!

Made my day!

Hi Andy

Might you be able to share your code for ‘do only one trade a day’ please? This would ‘close the loop’ and make this thread a useful future reference for the Community.

Thank You
GraHal

Sure,

//I have this line at the beginning of my code after the defparams

Once LastTradeDate = 0

//Then this line after MyBuyCondition is defined

ConditionTradedToday = LastTradeDate <> OpenDate

//Then

IF MyBuyCondition AND ConditionTradedToday THEN

Buy 1 LOT AT MARKET

SET TARGET PROFIT 10

SET STOP LOSS 10

LastTradeDate = OpenDate

ENDIF

//Hope that helps, this works on a 5m chart on wall street index on IG
