rising indicator for the last 3 bars

[MightyM]

Dear all,

this is probably a quite easy question:
How to implement a stategy with an entry signal after 3 bars show a rising indicator?

I managed to implement the rising condition but since I could´t figure out how to put in the 3-bars-condition as well it just compares the actual and the last bar.

I am using the wizard to create the strategy.

Thanks in advance

MightyM,

I am not sure I understand what you mean by 3-bars. What happens on these 3 bars? What do they signify? Please clarify. Thank you.

Hi NinjaTrader_Josh,

I meant that the condition for the entry should be, that the indicator rose with the last three bars of the chart.

Thanks

MightyM,

Create yourself 3 conditions, each time increasing the Bars Ago parameter. Then you will be checking for it rising on bars ago 0, 1, and 2. That will be rising of 3 bars.

OK thank you very much!

But what for then is the "rising==true" feature in the condition builder?
Can I not implement the "3" there?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Rising == true is used when you only care for the latest bar. It is not used for checking if it is rising over x amount of bars.

Thank you!
