    Hello,

    I was wondering if someone could help me.

    What I want to achieve is a program that looks for two signals over multiple bars.

    Yhe idea is that when the ATR on the dow 5 minutechart crosses over the value of 25 and a few bars (not more then 7) later the price crosses under the EMA10 a buy setup is triggered.

    If you look at the picture below you see that the trade is triggered also to early.

    Hope someone can help me.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Kind Regards,

    Jaldidee

    There you go:

    DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = FALSE
ONCE MaxBars = 7                       //Keep signal alive for a max 7 bars
ONCE Count   = 0
MyATR        = AverageTrueRange[14](close)
Sma10        = Average[10,0](close)
c1           = MyATR CROSSES OVER 25
c2           = close CROSSES UNDER Sma10
IF c1 = 1 THEN
   Count = 1
ELSE
   IF c1[1] = 1 THEN
      c1 = c1[1]
      Count = Count + 1
      IF Count > MaxBars THEN
         Count = 0
         c1    = 0
      ENDIF
   ENDIF
ENDIF
IF Not OnMarket AND c1 AND c2 THEN
   BUY 1 Contract AT Market
   c1    = 0
   Count = 0
SET TARGET pPROFIT 100
SET STOP   pLOSS   50
ENDIF
//graph count
//graph c1
//graph c2

    Hello Roberto,

     

    Thank you very much. It works perfectly…

    However I have a followup question. Next step is to set an entry, exit and target when both conditions are met.

    How would you program that? Because I tried it with the indicator, highest[10] .

    I set the entry at highest[10] and i want to ext at higest[10] minus 1* ATR and want to take profit at 2 * ATR.

    This works for the entry, but not to set a exit and target, because the program keeps recalculating the value of higest[10] and thus contnually changing the exit and target.

    Kind regards,

    Jaldidee

IF c1 AND c2 THEN
   Entry = highest[10](high)
   SL    = Entry - MyATR
   TP    = Entry + (MyATR * 2)
ENDIF
IF Not OnMarket AND c1 AND c2 THEN
   BUY 1 Contract AT Entry STOP
   SET TARGET PROFIT TP
   SET STOP   LOSS   SL
   c1    = 0
   Count = 0
ENDIF
