Within A Period

Thanks I thought

// Go long we have an up bar and the 10 EMA crosses above 20 EMA within the last 5 bars
if (Close[0] > Open[0] && CrossAbove(EMA(10), EMA(20), 5))


That meant it only looked at the 5th bar back I did not realize it was looking at the whole 5 bar period.

I do not know where the thanks button is otherwise I would send you one

You cannot see the "THANKS" button that is on the same line as the "QUOTE" button that you used to reply to the post?

Examples
// Go short if CCI crossed above 250 within the last bar
if (CrossAbove(CCI(14), 250, 1))
EnterShort();

// Go long if 10 EMA crosses above 20 EMA within the last bar
if (CrossAbove(EMA(10), EMA(20), 1))
EnterLong();

// Go long we have an up bar and the 10 EMA crosses above 20 EMA within the last 5 bars
if (Close[0] > Open[0] && CrossAbove(EMA(10), EMA(20), 5))
EnterLong();

I am trying to create a condition where the DM- crossed DM+ within X bars.

Using barsago seems to just return that specific number of bars

I have this code. How could I change it to say the cross has happened within the last X (9) candles?

Thanks Stefan

CrossAbove(DM(DmiPeriod).DiMinus, DM(DmiPeriod).DiPlus, 1)
