madc follwed by stochastic

[green]

can you please help me out,i am trying to write a strategy in which when macd crosses below macd average followed by a stochastic crossing then i would sell and vise versa for buying.
when i write the script and back test it i find that that condition only occurs when both the macd and stochastics cross at the same time.i need the macd to cross first followed by stochastic crossing.
thank you

Hello,

Please post your code so we can assist.

It sounds like you need to create a bool flag that stays true only if your first condition is met. Then use that flag in your condition to trade with the Stoch. cross condition. This may help:


if(...conditions for macd cross...)
{
macd_cross = true;
}
else
{
macd_cross = false;
}

if(macd_cross && ....stoch cross condition...)
{
//trade code
}

macd crosiing followed by stoch

Ben thank you
ok here is my strategy that i need to create.
macd set at 21/55/8 crossing below macd average
if followed by stochastic(8/3/5) crossing k crosses below d then sell short.
the stochastic crossing should occur where kand d are above 40% on the stoch range.
the oposite would be for long.
i also need to set a time frame for this rom 6am to 11am
thank you

Hello,

Give it a try using the code I provided below and post the code with an explaination of what it is, or is not, doing. Someone will give you pointers from there.
