Execute when bar crosses SMA

[JT1230]

I know it's silly but how do I execute a buy to cover when it crosses 20 period SMA?

Hello JT1230,

Thanks for your post.

As you are using the Bollinger indicator it would make sense to use that as the comparison. You could code something like:

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short && Close[0] > = Bollinger(2, 20).Middle[0])
{
ExitShort();
}

You may want to change Close for High, depends on your needs,

ExitShort: "Generates a buy to cover market order to exit a short position." Helpguide link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...?exitshort.htm
