Negative CCI

[gjbeaudin]

How would you code the value if your attempting a number below the zero line? i.e. if cci crosses above the -100 line, take a certain action.

I get the code to compile but it will not run when I add the strategy to the chart. It shows up as "yellow" in the strategies tab. The same logic with a positive number does work.

if (CrossAbove(CCI(14), -100, 1))

Hi gjbeaudin, thanks for posting. I moved your post to a new thread since the one posted on was 9 years old. The support team will see all new forum threads, so just a link to the reference thread will work in a new thread.

The best way to find out if a condition is being reached is to use Print within the condition block:

if (CrossAbove(CCI(14), -100, 1))
{
Print("CCI Cross -100"); //will print to the ninjascript output window when the condition is true.
Print(CCI(14)[0]);
Print(CCI(14)[1]);
EnterLong();
}

-100 is the correct syntax for this method. I recommend a Print to explain the output you are getting.

Best regards,
