Thank you Roberto ,

so just to clarify if i wanted a level broken below for a buy at 2100 i would amend line 15 to :

Long  A = 2100

and if I wanted a level broken above for a sell at 3800 i would amend line 20 to :

Short A = 3800.

so would i still need line 2 P= 4 ? As not sure how that relates…..

and assuming a long trade ie trigger level is 2100 (market is dropping and looking for reversal) ( but not 10 pips lower ) and entry is a 9/26 cross over , if the 926 cross over happens outside the range of 2100-2090 which is very likely the entry will still work  as 2100 was achieved 2090 was not (which invalidates the trade) – it then retraces to more than 2100 to cross over 926 (ie reversal happened) for example 2120 and then enters the trade as the 926 crosses over for a buy ?

The code will cope with this ?

Many thanks for clarification.

Hi roberto

No did not want to enter again – was just clarifying that once it hits the initial trigger of 2100 it places an order for a 926 cross over , and even if this 926 does not happen for a while it will maintain that order until its complete or becomes invalid if subsequently price  crosses line B (+-10 depending on direction ) ?

Hi Roberto

maybe I didn’t explain it correctly .

level A triggers looking for an EMA cross over .

if BEFORE this cross over occurs it breaches level B Then the trade is invalid and no trade must occur .

you can clearly see from the screen shot that code is placed live then level A is hit  then level B is breached before an EMA cross over so no trade should happen .

You are correct the cross over is in the range a-b but that should be irrelevant – the cross over CAN occur even above level A if price retraces after hitting level A as long as level B is not breached before the ema cross over.

The key is AFTER the code is activated – the first action is level A must be hit – this activates looking for the ema cross over .

if level b is breached BEFORE the ema cross over the trade is cancelled for the day . this is very important as it can retrace which is what it did in the screen shot – but the trade is no longer valid .

you will see from the screen shot – level B was breached after level A was hit and before the ema cross over  therefore it should not trade .

In the screenshot it did subsequently retrace and crossed over on the ema and traded but it should not as level B was breached before the ema cross over so it must cancel the trade / deactivate the code . Once level B is breached it should stop looking for a trade or any ema cross over .

it’s probably easier to look at the possible options

…………………………………………………………..,,
The possible option are ONLY  2 .

price is falling so this is the sequence of events in order :

OPTION 1

1.level A is hit

2.it starts to look for ema cross over

3.ema cross over happens a trade is placed – this cross over can be at ANY level below A OR above A but NOT  below B ( note the cross over can happen at ANY level >B and <or > A AFTER level A is activated FIRST triggering it looking for this ema cross over – which is step 1 above   )

(B)

1. level A hit

2.it starts to look for ema cross over

3.no ema cross over happens

4.level B hit so trade/code cancelled . It no longer looks for any cross over or any trade the breach of level B basically turns the code off .

obviously the reverse for a sell.

does that help explain it better by looking at the only 2 possible sequences of events ?
