Useing a Data Series

[nigeleyre]

I've created the data series and this code below now works to take a trade:-

if GetCurrentAsk() > eave3d[0])

BUT THIS BELOW which I would prefer to use will not although it will compile it does not activate any trades, do you have any ideas why this is or if I have done something substantially wrong. The price is definately crossing above the level of eave3d?

CrossAbove(GetCurrentAsk(), eave3d[0], 1) - I'm wanting it to take a trade if the ask crosses ubove the level of eave3d.

Can you try

CrossBelow(eave3d[0], GetCurrentAsk(), 1)

make a difference?

No this won't compile now and neither will it the other way round I must have had it slightly different before any more ideas?

Sorry,

Should be:

CrossBelow(eave3d(), GetCurrentAsk(), 1)

[nigeleyre]

I'll get it right in the end, this is the correct code i.e. it actually compiles but it will not take a trade despite being vivibly actionable on the chart?

CrossBelow(GetCurrentBid(), eave3d, 1))

Debug it.

Print out the GetCurrentAsk() values and the series value, see what is happening etc...
