MACD Strategy from NT Ecosystem

[jmschmidt357]

I have downloaded the MACD strategy. When it is enabled, it trades all of the crossovers. Is there a way to only allow upsignals or downignals so that the strategy only trades with the trend?

Hello jmschmidt357.

Thank you for your post.

This would likely require modifying the strategy's logic to submit orders on upsignals only or downsignals only. You could even consider adding an enum parameter type that allows a user to check a box for upsignals or downsignals and then the strategy logic will be executed for one or both of them if they are checked. For an example of this parameter type:
