Hello hunadamka,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

Based on your inquiry I would use the following code:

private int trend = 0;
private int period = 10;
...
if(Close[0] > EMA(period)[0])
{
trend = 1; // 1 = up trend.
}
else if (Close < EMA(period)[0])
{
trend = 2; // 2 = down trend.
}
...
if(trend == 1)
{
// Do something.
}
else if(trend == 2)
{
// Do something.
}
