Strategy Wizard Question

[123r34]

Using the Strategy Wizard, is there a way to enter a position long only when a Moving Average's slope in increasing in a positive direction and increasing in strength(not starting to rollover). Some times a Moving Average will be going up but starting to slow down(rollover). I don't want to enter when this happens. I have been lookiing in the Strategy Wizard's Misc options. There is a Raising and a Slope option. Will either of these work?

Thank you

Hi you could use Slope or the Momentum with your SMA as the input, the result should then be Rising when you see a long entry if I follow you correctly.

Slope Rising/Falling syntax errors - HELP

I'm kind of having similar issues with Slope().

In layman's terms, here is what I am trying to say:

"Slope of the 50SMA starting 15 bars ago is RISING"

I keep getting Error code CS0019: "Operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'double' and 'bool'."

Here is the code I have that gets the error:

Slope(SMA(50), 15, 0) == Rising(DefaultInput)


If someone could please help me out with this, I have spent way too much time trying to figure out what if anything I am doing wrong.. seems like it should be pretty straight forward but apparently it is NOT. I did this is the strategy wizard.

Brian, unfortunately not directly doable in the wizard as Slope would not return a DataSeries. You could check for example if the SMA is rising, I attach a screenshot of how this would need to be setup, the boolean true / false value can be found under Misc to compare them to the Rising output in your condition.
