Signal from one instrument order on another

[Captain Haddock]

Is it possible to recieve a signal from one instrument and make a trade on another?

I have looked at the multiinstrument example, but can't work out how it checks one instrument.

EG: a simple SMA cross on the ES sends a buy/sell signal to the YM at that moment?

TIA

Yes, absolutely. You would run a strategy on the YM chart and then in initialize you would add:

Add("ES 12-07", PeriodType.Minute, 1);

Then in OnBarUpdate() you could do something like -

if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
    if (CrossAbove(SMA(BarsArray[1], 5), SMA(BarsArray[1], 20), 1))
        EnterLong();
}

Hi Ray, Is it possible to use the median for the SMA calculation?

Appreciate your help.

Yes.

if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
    if (CrossAbove(SMA(Medians[1], 5), SMA(Medians[1], 20), 1))
        EnterLong();
}
