using price Value in a strategy

[outsource]

Hi,

how do i use the price value in a strategy instead of an indicator?

So,if the price is @ 2020 and i wan the strategy to buy whe the Close is above 2030,or sell when the Close is below 2010?I know it can be done via lmt orders,but the strategy i use additionally track for other things.

Thanks!

Hello outsource,

You would continue to use Close price series and compare that to whatever you are using to track the price.

Example -
if(Close[0] > SMA(14)[0])
EnterLong();

Hi Cal.

no,i use nothing to compare with.I`d need the price values solely

So,is there a way to put the price as conditions for entry?

Say,if price@2020 - go long
if price@2010 - go short

?

Hello outsource,

Thank you for your response.

For the price call Close[0]. So for your two conditions:

if(Close[0] == 2020)
EnterLong();
if(Close[0] == 2010)
EnterShort();
