Price crossing MA

[rob36]

I couldn't seem to find an ability to build a strategy that entered the trade when price crosses and closes the other side of the EMA.

I guess I could use a 1 period MA.

Are you able to help at all?

Is it possible to set a MA and PSAR as the stop, calculated on the close so the strategy will automatically close the position when the market closes through whichever is the closest to price?

Also if I want to add a filter using stochastics, so only take long trades when both K & D are upward sloping I just wanted to check that the fact that there are 2 variables won't matter if I use the strategy wizard. Or do I need to add the condition twice zeroing out k in one and then d in another?
The strategy seems to work if I just use the MA conditions and don't try and use the stochastic filters.

Hi rob36,

You will find the Strategy Wizard useful. Please see these pages for how to do cross over conditions: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...OverConditions

To set the stops the way you want: In the "Conditions and Actions" screen you want to add this as one of the "Do the following" actions. Click Add -> Misc -> Set user defined variable -> Value = select your MA or PSAR. Then go to the "Stops and Targets" page -> select Stop Loss -> Value = select the user defined variable you just set earlier.

If you want both the K and D to be checked you need two conditions. Please see this: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ndicators.html
