Displacement parameter

[George09]

Hi! I have one more question regarding displaced SMA in strategy builder. Is there a way to execute an order based on displaced SMA's level at current price level ?

When I try to build a strategy on this, it always takes the latest displaced SMA's value, which is not what I need.

George, can you please clarify what you're trying to do ("execute an order based on displaced SMA's level")? Can you post the code you're using so we can see what might be occurring here?

Sure it's:

// Condition set 1
if (GetCurrentBid() >= SMA(30)[50]])
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
}

When I backtest the strategy, entries are wrong, as it doesn't seem to take SMA's value at current price.

Hello,

SMA(30)[50]]

This is telling NinjaTrader do get the value of a 30 bar SMA and get the value of this indicator 50 bars ago. Is this what your wanting to do? As this would not be the current value. Current value would be SMA(30)[0];
