Help w/Indicator in Strategy Wizard

[pclark]

I have an indicator and it plots an up dot or a down dot. When you add the indicator in the Strategy Wizard you can actually select up dot or down dot where the "Plot" option is. I want to go long on an up do and shot on a down dot. How do I express this? To me I don't need the right hand side of the wizard because all I want to say is on up dot go long. The wizard wont' let me leave out the other side. How can I express this? I just have ==,<,>,<=,>=,cross above, cross below and not sure how these work to just express what I want. Thanks....

Hello,

You need to have a statement on both sides.

You will want to do: if up-dot on left == true on right side
Or if you are using integers: if up-dot on left == numeric value of 1 on right.

How you do this will depend on how your plots are designed.

Here are my settings and what's happening.

Here is a look at my settings and the trades I am getting. It's no going off of the up dot and I have not other indicators set. So, can you tell me why the trades are being taken where they are and if my settings are wrong what I need to do to make them work on the green up dot. Thanks....

Hello,


I do not know the indicator you are using so I cannot say for sure. Also, I cannot see the entire condition you have set up as it is cut off on the right side visually.

Was the indicator you are using built in the wizard? If so, you could just add an order entry along with the dot draw action in the original indicator.

Hey Ben,

It's the Blue Wave Trading Precision MA. What I have set is IF UpDot == UpDot then go long. The indicator plots a green up dot or a red down dot but as you can tell the chart does not bear that out.

Hello,

We do not keep up with 3rd party indicators because there are some many and they change so frequently. I suggest contacting the author of the indicator for help.

However try UpDot == true or UpDot == a value of some kind.
