Help with signal line changes colour

[vast524]

I am trying to write a small strategy to enter long when a moving average turns from falling to rising and short when it turns from rising to falling.
And only at these spots please.
I have the indicator changing colour on the change. ie. Rising = green Falling = Red
In the Plot section I have: Signal, Rising Plot, Falling Plot, Netral Plot and DMV.
I would also like to limit one trade per change from falling to rising as well.
Can I get a little help please
I had a look in the help sections, but I couldn't find anything.
Thank you

vast524, have you taken a look already at the Strategy Wizard for setting this up?

A CrossAbove / CrossBelow rule referencing your Moving Average should do what you seek -

I have done the wizard and it was a guide.
I am not trying to compare x2 indicators. That cross over. It is a single indicator. No signal line. Just one line that changes colour if it is falling or rising. It is a Double Moving Average Indicator.
All I want to do is to tell the strategy to enter long when this one single line changes from falling to rising.
I also want it to take only one trade for the duration of this change. The next trade will not happen till it changes from rising to falling.

vast524,

In the Condition Builder's Misc category there are selections called "Rising" and "Falling". You want to select those and then on the right hand side select "true".

[vast524]

Ok. I did try that, but wasn't sure if I needed to compare it to anything.
ie. If falling == true then it changes to rising== true then enter long
I only want to enter a long when the falling changes to rising
Plus I only want to take x1 trade per direction change

Then the easiest is the CrossOver rule on one indicator, you would not need two indicators to implement this. The CrossOver rule would also help you getting only one trade per rising / falling sequence.

I tried this.
(CrossAbove(DoubleMA(54,NinjaTrader.Indicator.Doub leMA_internal.DMAType.EMA,54,NinjaTrader.Indicator .DoubleMA_internal.DMAType.EMA).RisingPlot,

DoubleMA(54,NinjaTrader.Indicator.DoubleMA_interna l.DMAType.EMA,54,NinjaTrader.Indicator.DoubleMA_in ternal.DMAType.EMA).FallingPlot, 2))

But it didn't work.
Thanks for your help

vast524, please try with a regular standard MA in NinjaTrader, I believe the DoubleMA is not suited for Strategy Wizard use.

[vast524]

Thanks. But it is not what I want.
Oh well, will try anyway.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

To work with the DoubleMA you could always work in the full NinjaScript editor for the Strategy Code.

[vast524]

That is what I have been doing. I gave up on the wizard.
Anyway, thanks for the help

I'm not sure I follow - if you're in the full NinjaScript editor you can just code the condition out and you do not need to reference the plots or colors of the DoubleMA indicator:

 
if (CrossAbove(WMA(WMA(18), 18), WMA(WMA(20), 20), 1))
EnterLong();
